The Boxabl Casita is a 361-square-foot foldable prefab home that ships folded on a truck and unfolds on-site. Built in a Las Vegas factory, these modular units feature steel-frame construction with concrete and foam panel walls, designed to meet residential building codes for permanent foundation installation.
The studio-style layout includes a full kitchen with standard appliances, a complete bathroom, combined living and bedroom space, and 9.5-foot ceilings. Boxabl also manufactures 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom configurations at 722 square feet by connecting two units.

Lessons from This Design
- Factory Production Reduces Build Time: By manufacturing complete units in a controlled factory environment, Boxabl can produce homes faster and with more consistent quality than traditional site-built construction
- Foldable Design Solves Shipping Challenges: The walls fold inward for transport, allowing a 361-square-foot home to ship on a standard truck without requiring oversized load permits for width
- Full-Size Appliances Increase Livability: Unlike many tiny homes that use compact or RV-style appliances, the Casita includes standard residential appliances, making the transition from traditional housing easier
- Steel and Concrete Construction Adds Durability: The structural panels provide strength for hurricane and seismic zones while also improving fire resistance compared to traditional wood framing
- Base Price Is Just the Beginning: While the unit itself starts around $60,000, buyers should budget $95,000–$150,000 total for foundation, site preparation, utility connections, and delivery—important context for comparing costs to other housing options
