Among the many problems facing the 21st century, widespread environmental unsustainability is perhaps the most pressing and acute. The expansion of human civilization into ever more unlikely places has resulted in problems that are increasingly difficult to ignore: severe water shortages, pervasive ground water and air pollution, and mountainous sites of physical wastage.
One of the chief contributors to these problems is the $11T construction industry. As it currently operates, most buildings are not designed to last any significant length of time. The imprints that these development projects make on the Earth are far more permanent in their effects, incurring severe environmental damages.
As the human population continues to increase, environmental depletion will exacerbate natural disasters with greater magnitude, resulting in massive damage to human settlements. This, in turn, will only prompt further outdoor construction projects. If the construction industry continues to employ its current methods, this vicious cycle will remain ongoing.
Unlike just about all other developers and creators of living spaces, Boxabl offers a product that provides affordable housing without compromising on sustainability measures. “Boxabl’s units are foldable—they can condense into compact form for shipment and unfold on a lot in under an hour,” says a spokesperson for the company, “This innovation makes transportation efficient, cost-effective, and less environmentally taxing than all other operations in the industry.”
Boxabl’s designs are also highly efficient in their use of space. The Casita, for instance, is a 375 square-foot studio apartment configuration that features a full kitchen and bath, complete with appliances and other modern conveniences. As temperatures across the globe continue to increase, compact houses like the Casita will save on energy expenditures immensely. It is probably the company’s environmentally-oriented approach to housing that inspired Tesla CEO Elon Musk to purchase a Casita for himself. Since Musk confirmed his recent Casita purchase, the waitlist for Boxabl has expanded to include over 110,000 customers.
“The Casita is the culmination of the desire of our engineers to solve three key problems,” says company co-founder Galiano Tiramani. “First, how to bring down housing prices, which are far too expensive for millions of would-be homeowners to afford. Second, how to lessen the environmental impact we all have on this planet. And third, how to help people impacted by natural disasters to be rehoused quickly in homes that are safe and sustainable.”
Among the most urgent issues that natural disasters entail is the number of people who lose their homes and immediately require some form of shelter from which they can restart their lives. Because environmental damages contribute to the severity of natural disasters, the number of families who lose their homes to natural disasters can be expected to increase in the coming years.
Fortunately, as Casitas can be manufactured quickly and require only one hour to assemble, victims of natural disasters will henceforth be more likely to find safe and accommodating shelters in the aftermath of the life-threatening event which destroyed their property.
“How many times have we seen people be displaced by floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, and tornadoes?” company co-founder Paolo Tiramani asks. “There is always the need for a rapid response in these emergencies so that people can have safe shelter again. The Casita, which can be unpacked in only an hour and can come fully stocked, will be the perfect solution for these situations.”
As many consumers can be expected to decline renting or mortgaging traditional homes in favor of Boxabl homes, the environmental impacts of the construction industry may be less severely felt. Boxabl aims to redefine the massive construction industry and to become the world’s preeminent developer.
