Elon's tiny home is just the entrance to his real house. Once inside you walk into the bathroom and an elevator takes you to a 200,000 sf bunker 1000ft underground equipped with it's own starbucks and nightclub. He's not fooling me.
You are right. I heard Elon needs to either pee on the bed or take helicopters to go to the toilet in the midnight. He has such a huge and luxious home
What a contrast to the real-estate you normally show. Thanks for expanding out to alternative housing. It's nice to see bathrooms that costs $50k but its also nice to see a whole house that costs $50k. I really do appreciate the time your team spends to show us these things.
@@heartmind6373 Bing people do not think, if you're looking for affordable housing move to the Midwest, even part's of New Mexico you could buy a good house for 50k with land.
I can definitely see the potential... I'm a single man, I live alone and I could live very comfortably in a house like that... Imagine minimalist lifestyle, no clutter, yet still with all the amenities we need. Easy to maintain and keep clean; it would be a joy to live in!!
I worked in a modular commercial/residential building factory for 11 years. Worked every area of construction and realized how easy it is to build a functional living space that is spacious and easy to put together. It took about 3-4 days to build a home. Now, it's even faster to put together a home like this that is even a higher quality finish. Amazing.
Actually, maybe in a few years I will be interested in buying something like that. So, I'd like to ask you something. What about heating? Heating a regular apartment of this size would be cheaper or more expensive? Houses like this are well insulated and do not lose heat quickly or an opposite? And how would you estimate all the costs, not only the house itself. Land, costs of delivery, running water and electricity installations?
but way harder to get zoning permits, money for land tax, and the power to ACTUALLY build the home. Amongst MANY other reasons. don't oversimplify this. of course its easier than ever to put together a home. it's called technology advancements lol... that being said it is far from easy to actually do
Interesting concept. What is really missing is all the other costs... like land, site prep, foundation, plumbing, sewer, water connection, transportation, erecting, permits, electrical etc. so when you consider that and adding it to your 50K box you'll have somewhere close to 100K. Then if you wanted bigger boxes or more of them to stack up, the cost will jump quite a bit and after you do all that would you really move it? It's not like its a single wide. Did not see how these are anchored down so they don't blow away, what is the wind rating, what is the warranty? I wonder if someone would buy like 20 of them and build a small community (like a trailer park). Might be an interest business idea.
Yeah, definitely not viable for an individual. But this definitely has some use for companies and gov to create temporary shelters and offices quickly. Imagine they had this ready during the pandemic, it would probably be used to create hospitals and vaccination centers. Lost opportunities.
Like the old school Sears homes. They shipped everything straight to you and you followed the directions and put it together. Only those homes were normal sizes. Some are still standing and being lived in today.
In my hometown their grouped together just south of downtown. And cover over a square mile. Their really nice. We also have WWII houses in another neighborhood.
I remember the announcement locally, covered by both print and tv media; I'm so glad someone did an actual site visit and walkthrough. Thank you, Enes!

@@RedMenace446 I'd actually hope that someone dropped the money for a 50/100/150/200 units community; either for Section 8 or the homeless. This would greatly reduce the housing crisis for renters, as well as those on the street.
this house is not telling me it's "small" but absolutely Efficient. Just from the inside view itself it's already a prove this house is taking a space real modest and not too much, just like the typical Japanese compact apartment while also totally freakin comfy from top to bottom, from the edge to another edge. This is my favorite by far. Thanks for the content
Their latest is three times the floor area, two story, three bed/2 bath with an upper floor master and deck. You can go from this tiny house version to almost anything.
Spectacular efficiency and price. This could become a game changer for society. Especially with some solar panels and batteries. Our cars cost more in comparison. Really cool👍
This is absolutely amazing. This is what the world needs - a way to provide more affordable housing to the masses, and a way to add on as a family grows, rather than always having to sell and buy up. I am in love with this concept, especially with the way that they can be moved with a family, as job situations change. These are the innovators the world needs, and a way of sustainability like nothing I've ever seen. Thank you so much for this.
The fact is their the standard size in the 1800s without the modern kit and bath. Modern is more cozy but need more food storage. In 1800s pantry was big enough for putting several barrel of flour smoked meat, 30 gal crocks of pickle, and pickled veg and fruit. We are talking 10 ft by 15 ft. FOR THE PANTRY. Or a root cellar the size of the house. Plus a wood shed.( or stacked on back porch for winter)
This is super cool. I really like it a lot. But I can't help but remember that an actual house used to cost $50,000 in 1980. Today, all you can afford is a box. How much has changed.
@@hugono3938 the supply and demand problem causes inflation... Inflation will always be a thing as long as goods and services are part of a free market...
This would be great to put in my backyard as an office space. Wish they would have gone into more detail about the plumbing and electrical system. I'm assuming full solar but wonder how much work to connect to a grid and if it has traditional plumbing hookups for sewage drain and waterline connections?
Why would you assume full solar? No solar was shown and there's no way that price tag covers solar to run that kitchen and A/C. This is clearly designed for the grid. Maybe they will allow you to add on solar options, but more likely you're on your own to build a solar setup that will feed its grid connection. Clearly it will have more or less traditional plumbing hookups, like any other prefab. Those are all standard fixtures, not RV/Marine type designed for holding tanks and dump sites.
@@savage.4.24 I’m zoned ok to do it. Just stuck deciding on buying a bigger house or building a work area in the backyard. Anything in LA that is reasonably priced around a million has been garbage the past few months. Everything requires at least another 150k in renovations.
So you kinda wanna escape your wife... It could work.. but she can not have a key. Also upkeep on solar and standard maintenance not at all viable for current costs. If you have enough go for it though. I have a tool shed where i hide. No a/c but i don't have someone who complains all the time. Take pleasure in the small things.
3:01 You can see the stairs in the bottom left image. I have seen these stacked on top of each other an whilst I didnt get a chance to see the inside I was told they literally just dropped one on top of the other, wrapped some edging around the outside to hide the joint and boom they were done. Again the whole process took a little over an hour. I have seen someone take longer to unhitch and park a caravan lol
Well, the whole point of it is being modular, so chances are, they’ll have new models with stairs in them with no roof OR it will be a model that is taller than the others that does have a roof, and it will connect with other models to be just right, and probably have different kinds of stairs that you can get. That way you can have regular stairs, maybe with storage underneath, or have spiral stairs, maybe with glass all around it or not, depending on what the customer wants in that moment.
A few things Id change the fridge shouldn't be next to the oven, the bench top needs rounded corners square in small spaces hurt when you bump into them, the flooring looking unfinished, remove the window behind the bed & a built in Double with a lift up frame for extra storage , get ride of the barn door in the shower, add wall cupboards & reduce the sink cupboard to accommodate a washer dryer combo machine & add a floor to ceiling robe were to washer was ... so much wasted space with such high ceilings use for cupboards, pulley drop down clothes racks and more...there are hundreds of ways to make this a great home
How awesome. People in the 70’s could buy an entire farm working at a fast food joint or a gas station. Today we have to work notable careers to live in a fn box 😐
inflation is how they've fucked us out of our wages. No inflation, and our salaries would be just as powerful as they were back in the 70's :) our government is the problem
Like everybody's saying, this is just outstanding engineering. Design a tasteful living space with portability and cost as the primary constraints and you get this. I looks great and if more competitors join to make a market out of this, the idea of home ownership may change globally through the next decades. I can imagine this seriously being a consideration for many who can't afford a house on top of buying land. I could see someone (myself) spending more of their savings on buying land and then putting this on it instead. It looks more than adequate. Modular attachment functionality for more rooms would be a great revision to this product.
As a retired architect out of Las Vegas, I congratulate BOXABL, aka Elon Musk and designers, for their initiative and design in this environmentally sensitive home style concept. And if you can keep it in the present price range this will change the single-home concept around the world. For now, good job! May you continue in your endeavors. I would also suggest that you work on a style that is integrated into the earth, as the earth is a protector from the natural elements. Keep up the good work! I'm all smiles with what you are doing.
Brainwashing at its finest...Sure let's use a very wealthy, charismatic man as the face of hamster cage houses to get the masses thinking this is the future of homes. Meanwhile said very wealthy man will continue living in mansions, with private jets, yachts, and islands while the peasants enjoy their shoe box of a home. "You will own NOTHING, and be happy" - World Economic Forum Welcome to 2030
Hello 👋 are these mini homes up to code for cold areas like Ontario, Canada? If anyone likes to make money like Musk, this would fly all over Canada right now. The inflation of rent is insane. Imagine charging decent rent, with several of these mini homes situated on a lot.
I just love the creativity, editing and how enes shoots his videos. Am pursuing a course in architecture btw because of the inspiration I got from his videos
I kind of hope that customers get to customize how they want the layout of the tiny house to be, because for me I think of security, and there is far too many windows and break in points for this tiny house.
This is incredible to see. The mansions are amazing, but this is something most people can get their hands on. Heck, the average quarter million dollar home in the US, you could sell that and get a 4 or 5 acre lot, and a boxabl for you, the kids, even a guest house and still come out with a few thousand in your pockets, and no mortgage. When the kiddo is ready for college, they can take their space with them, no need for an apartment. If this really catches on, landlords could save fortunes providing utility hookups and flat pads for these. Set up a few lots near a University, got a dorm where the students arrive with their own homes, and leave with them when they're done. Also siding companies could make a fortune making exterior cladding for those who want their boxabl to look more traditional, even folding roof modules that had a traditional peaked roof, but were made of folding solar panels on a collapsible frame. Off grid with style, etc. The potential of this concept is staggering, and with the economic crunch that people have felt for decades now as houses turned from 10 year investments to 30 year loans, this could wind it back. Buy a Boxable for 50 grand, and since it's modular, they could upgrade your home with panels and additions as your family grew, etc. My mind is blown, for sure!
And what do you imagine it costs to transport one of these? To break it down, $5,000. To transport it, $5,000. To reinstall it, $5,000. Then to hook up utilities anywhere to it, $15,000. So, yeah, your average kollege kiddie aint' gonna be likely to buy one of dese to haul to Hahvahd Yahd wif him. NOT when that same $30,000 will provide you all FOUR YEARS of rent at kollege and then you can just pack your suitcase and move on. On the other hand, a buddy bought a "mobile home" to live in while we were in law skool. He had it paid for, and sold it when he was done with skool for a profit, and moved on. SO there is that. These are just expensive mobile homes. But don't forget all the costs involved in setting one up.
@@notmyname3883 yes there are applications where that scenario wouldnt be reasonable. However cost is no issue when it comes to having your own area to focus and relax. That is a major component to lesrning
Absolutely brilliant! For someone with a large property, possibly including a lake, creating a vacation rental site with multiple homes like these would be an excellent idea. I will definitely keep this in mind. Thank you, Enes, for the wonderful tour!
Was thinking the samething. Like grown kids wanting to start out. Or Grandparents that want to be closer but Not to close. Or take on a renter for extra income.
tiny homes have always fascinated me and these look so lovely, but the biggest thing that bugs me is how unattainable it actually is for the average person. even buying a normal house is almost completely out of the question for folks renting who live on tight budgets. tiny homes seem affordable because you hear '50,000$ house" but in reality you still need land to put it on, which requires a larger down payment than a home, and then with bare land you often have to figure out plumbing, sewer systems, electricity. not to mention the legal backflips involved. its so much more complex of an idea than it is being marketed as, and as cool as I think it is, I wish it was more attainable for lower income individuals who may see the price tag and get their hopes up. I'd be interested to see how this idea will develop in coming years, and how the loans for going through this process will look like in the future
If it were economically sound they would have tiny home parks, just like mobile home parks. I'd love to see it, mobile homes are so flimsy and skirting is almost always poorly done at least these tiny homes seem more like a real building.
Putting a tiny house on a foundation is a great way to get a real house loan. ITS ON A FOUNDATION therefore all utilities are permanent. And utilities don't treat it like a trailer. Install and monthly costs are cheaper because you will never back up a truck and move away without paying the bill. The foundation is the difference.
Yes, I was just thinking about that, about the cost of land to put it on, plus any additional charges for essentials that need to be provided. It is still an amazing price and the way forward but not in the price range of most people.
As many of these videos I’ve watched, they have yet to explain how the plumbing and electrical is configured in these units. I would like to see an in depth video of these utilities.
@Kyle Wiech yeah this is really if you own a plot of land and don't think you can figure out how to build your own house. there will be a huge market for it but really you should take the time and just study building a house, we have the internet now. it's actually very simple and therapeutic from what i heard
RUclips is hardly the place to see the in-depth schematics you’re looking for. Have you tried asking (by phone or email) rather than waiting for a video to magically appear?
Now what we need is for the city to allow people to put these homes in their backyard without any regulations and without any restrictions from the City Hall municipality, etc. it must be enforced by the federal state and provincial government to allow boxable homes anywhere in the world to be purchased and sold
For what do you need a tiny home? It should be a huge house for a low price, not a box of matches for a mountain of cash, you seriously would rise your kids and live in it with your wife? I mean it looks a bit like something i see on construction sites or trailer parks.

@@wndrss99 I agree, but what the multi million 25KSQFT mansions being built that is show cased on this channel... why should the rich live in 25K SQFT mansions and we must in cardboard boxes?
@@nopenope460 Who said I would have a wife and kids? Not only that put people spend 100k+ on tiny homes and I don't agree with spending that much when its purpose is suppose to be cheap to live in.
I went to University of Florida M.E. Rinker school of building construction and had a decent career of it. At the time, repeatable/manufactured housing was just creeping into engineering classes. This is epic, and spot on with encapsulating what the building industry has learned over the last 50 years to show what’s necessary for quality, efficient, secure living. Keep it up and best of luck delivering on this much needed result of the potential of technology;)
I can feel and see the passion in the tour guide, whom I assume is the founder of the Boxabl. The guy is really genuinely happy and proud to explain every tiny detail about the product.
Would be interested to see if boxabl's add together into larger houses, or if they can be compiled into an apartment-style building for more compact housing.
They actually can! Here's a video of a Boxabl on top of another Boxabl. Click the link below to see an example of this. ruclips.net/video/aX1TUkX8bxs/видео.html
Both concepts are impractical. Typically there is a square footage requirement to even place something, plus you need land, hookups, etc. Expanding homes with these would require more foundation, more hookups, permits, etc, all over again, allot of $$, maybe cheaper than expanding naturally, but not by much, and an apartment-type structure wouldn't work either. Again, cost, structural components, etc. A traditional apartment would make way more sense. I do think there could be little communities of these, but not enough to make a real impact. Most will probably just put these in their backyards and stuff, the % that get rented out will be a small amount.
Really love the concept of a tiny home, seeing someone doing something with the concept and make it durable and affordable is really amazing! I would like to see them do flood, mud slide and extreme wind testing with these units and see how well the build quality holds up to extreme nature events, to also see what kind of repairs would be involved after. I'm seeing those forklift channels and thinking it'd be a great way to anchor the building down with various possible methods, or even create deck / balcony extensions with them also. May be a goal to get one of these instead of a trailer tiny home!
@@RyanHellyer The definition for "tiny" home is fairly loose. "Living Big in a Tiny home" channel. You could see a lot of places that have as much or more in square footage and even more amenities, some of them.
@@YesYourRight Idea behind is to make it moveable and durable, while reducing the cost. You can build a shed maybe yeah but in big cities that have housing price of 2 million for apartments, this might be an ideal way to live
WOW so glad that I saw this and watched it. I love the concept of the home being built in a factory, no rain and possible mold like with conventional building and framing methods. Like the look and the kitchen and baths were amazing. Wanted to know if they did an incinerator toilet and how it works for water being brought in. Great concept and it will be interesting to see where this goes....I do think as a Realtor that this would be easier for a town to allow on a building lot then most of the smaller home units. Thanks for sharing
The biggest problem for boxable is local county and state building codes. Plus fees. In California those fees can be another $50,000 to hookup water, sewer, electric and anything else they want to charge. I really hope they take on those local state and building regulations.
Soon only the super rich and desperately poor will live in California. These houses will not fit their population, so nevermind the fees and other foolishness the state rips off the people. The rest of the states will profit from this innovation.
I'm impressed! Average price of a home for a couple in Wellington, New Zealand, is a whopping NZ$3,000,000! First time home buyers has already become not possible for 99% of us, with 30 year mortagages and the couples unable to save up for a deposit. Even myself as a middle class earner, most people are unable to afford the Cost Of Living. Its great to see this company to come up with a practical and affordable solution, shipping anywhere in the world, and for this well presented video.
Im a building inspector in the city of Phoenix. These REALLY intrigue me. The Boxable University installer program is an awesome idea for someone like me, who could do it on the side and who has connections to many many contractors who also want side work. Its a perfect side job idea and my certifications would be marketable to a new home owner. I will 1000X be following up with that.
Enes really knows how to shine a light on the companies he collaborates with. He often sells their products better than they do! Good stuff Enes, keep it up!

This is great I wish Elon Musk would give me a tiny house. My husband died and left me homeless after 13 years. This man is awesome. I’ve tried everything I could to find a place to live. Everything is out of reach for me. I’m 77 years old and on social security. I can’t afford to pay 2500 to 3000 a month.if I could afford one like that I would do it in a minute. He is a genius and should be President…,
This is a truly astounding project. If they get up to top capacity as they envision this could figuratively and literally change the entire concept of housing, especially when you're able to stack and expand several units.
there is a reason why the factory in which these lego houses are built is built the traditional way. Safety is the top priority for any kind of house. Safety against nature disasters, traffic accidents, and robbery too. If the house can be delivered this way by a truck then, can it also be possibly stolen by a robber with a truck?
This is where Murphy-style foldable furniture really adds value to the home. I didn't see a lot of storage options, however with the high ceilings, maybe there is room to stack storage options?
11:03 when the wall sweeps out to the lip of the base it looks like a perfect place for rain to sheet down the wall and water to infiltrate the gap, seeping under the wall and into the house. No doubt something they have resolved on production versions. This being a prototype it is likely to have faults: I'd be interested to know how they resolved the junction between the floor and the pivotable walls.
I would guess that for this prototype version it is just to showcase how the house would be assembled. I do not believe you would repack the home later. One solution I can think of is that once the home is assembled, you put a type of putty or grout into those edges to form a seal against the elements. Then, IF you do want to pack the home up again, you just remove that sealant and pack the home. Otherwise, I guess that would be a major maintenance thing you would have to check your home on to make sure it doesn't leak and get into the home.
@@youdontknowme3935 Yup, insulation, despite being stated as "incredible", seems kind of minimalistic for cold places / countries. As an example, if one day they ship worldwide, I'd love one here in France, but damn, I sure know I would need to put more insulation from outside... -20C in the winter would be waaaaay too cold for this !
I walked past small sleepouts for sale today. There was a guy working in there so I stopped and asked how much they were. $25,000 he said. And these are $50,000! There's absolutely no comparison. These are phenomenal!
I came here for laughs but ended up actually liking it very much! My only problem is the size of the fridge - it’s gigantic! It could be cut in half and used as an additional cupboard or something. Aside from that - awesome, really awesome ❤
I think the refrigerator size is perfect as is. As a person who shops once per month for groceries I appreciate a large refrigerator-and in fact couldn’t live without one. I also cook and bake every week, so a large refrigerator is necessary. I love the design of the house, and could be quite comfortable living in one. My only problem would be where to put it without being out in the middle of nowhere, rather than within city limits. Also, there was no mention of heating or air conditioning so that may be another unforeseen expense. Finally, there are no closets. If you have to add in IKEA style storage units that will begin to consume the available interior square footage.
I think those kind of house will be much more common in the next 10-15 years. Everybody wants "his/her" own space and property and that´s a way to do it. Love the concept
That looks like it could be a real game changer for a lot of people. I hope they'll have the whole process tightly locked up because there's a lot going on here, you need plenty more than the house itself, you need to own or rent a piece of land, level a spot, maybe lay foundations, connect to the electricty and water network, what about waste? ... I wonder how far they'll accompany the customer on these things.
If you consider land price and all those things that's what makes a home expensive. Just the materials plus assembling for a regular house much bigger than this is already just around 50.000$. So what is the benefit to buy a small home that is assembled in 1 hour instead of a couple of months? Seems like a big scam to me.
When I saw this, I first considered it as a replacement to mobile homes, to which this doesn't feel like a good approach. The cost for the unit is as much as a new single-wide mobile home, but at less than half the square footage. Sure it looks nice, but it is inferior compared to the competition in the owner markets this is aiming to cater to: -For people who need a manufactured home due to cost, portability is meaningless and they will choose a single wide for more floorspace at the same cost. -For people with enough money for a highly portable traveling home, an RV would be cheaper due to the lack of shipping costs. -For those who could combine pieces to construct a larger home, the cost/sqft would be greater than a fixed home. -For undeveloped country markets, the portability may make it the only manufactured option, but likely still cost prohibitive for those living there. Where these DO make sense is for people who want guest rooms in large estates, cabin rentals, festival setups, MAYBE as a country house on someone's second property, or for missionary/scientific outposts. I don't think people are going to be LIVING in these.
I agree with all the points you have made. I hate to say it, but these seem like a posh mobile home that try to fulfill a need by making it needlessly complicated and more expensive, albeit with better marketing. Manufactured homes do have their issues, mostly they are made with inferior materials, and those that arent, tend to still keep the stigma with them. With all that said, they are so much more affordable compared to these.
this is really cool and affordable, but i would still prefer to have a 3d printed house out of concrete any day. There are pros and cons to both, this home would appeal more to people who want to travel and not be confined to a van or rv.
This is soooo great for vacation spots. Florida trailer homes now have competition. Loving the new small homes for the future. Safety in storms and bad weather would be a concern if I wanted this. Been a homeowner of 2 houses. 16 yrs plus 27 years in 2 homes == 43 years. I should have found this 15 yrs ago. Thanks 😊 love the videos. 😉
what world needs is to end the doomsday cult of climate change taxations and over regulations. then you can have normal house and you don't have to live in rabbit hutches like during socialism in eastern europe
@@smallego8068 That's EXACTLY what I need, which is why that's exactly what I have... LOL! Paid less than 50k for mine and its already paid off. I want to be as far away from bugs like you as possible. But you can have live in your anthill if that's what makes you happy ^_^
Would like to see more in-depth how the panels are sealed together for weather and pest protection, but I am very impressed in the materials. I was 100% expecting the panels to be wooden frames hidden under drywall like most American homes.
It looks like even with that display model that the wall that's basically just windows could be removed and two models could be "shoved" together to make a double sized unit. I'm sure they'd have to be 2 custom units designed to be placed together. This is clearly proof of concept for something that could be far more amazing especially if it catches on and they can eventually get costs down to ~25k/unit
I am an HVAC Tech. The reason you cannot use a ducted HVAC system here is there appears to be no room for ducts unless they are exposed lol. Also I promise you those wall mount air handlers absolutely can aquire some nasty mold, depending on they're environment and maintenance. That said they are used everywhere now and do work great when setup properly. Mitsubishi is definitely king.
@@everlasting1237 you dumb? if its moving air it will get mold. not 200% efficient. they work well for small spaces and there's no room for a conventional ducted system. also cheaper.
On the one hand, I love the idea of Boxabl because alternative housing is definitely needed. On the other hand, it seems like there’s only one look available, which is sleek, ultra modern, and cold. There is nothing like the warmth and beauty of wood or brick.
Brother in christ, it's a $50k house made to be as small and affordable as possible. If you want warm buy an actual full sized real house. This is like being disappointed that your McDonald's take home meal didn't live up to your Michelin Star standards
As much as I enjoy smaller cozy spaces, this tiny home trend is just a craze to normalize living in pods so they can continue to expand housing infrastructure vertically and grab all the land to develop industry on without people fighting back against essentially being confined to personalized cells.
Is the opposite trend of giant Mc Mansions any better? Not a bad thing for people to realize they don’t need as much to be perfectly happy. Check out the Japanese muji homes
@@RavusRiven why do you assume it’s either cells or mansions. That’s a dichotomy that you created. People realizing they can live with less space has nothing to do with the original comments point
Just stumbled upon this and I am really diggin the concept and quality. This is something affordable one could put on their property and write off as a home office legitimately without trying to figure out the square footage and the like. Awesome presentation. 👊🏿🙂
I would love love love one of those boxable casitas BUT with my own design inside. That washer/dryer would have to be in the bathroom, hideaway bed, drop down counter/table space with ROUNDED corners and smaller appliances.
That washer/dryed being in the bedroom would bug me. Hopefully when they get production going, they will allow people to choose options. Due to my chronic pain, I have to have my walk-in tub. It looks like there is plenty of room in that shower area for both my tub and the washer. Also, I worked as a nurse for almost 50 years. I could not relax in the sterile environment, I would need some wood and other natural materials.
This is like the "new" mobile home, except much more expensive. I remember my Grandma's mobile home was a double wide with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Nice, open concept kitchen/living room. Much less than $50k. This thing is less than half of that for the same price.
Except double wides are much more expensive now. Im moving into a 20 year old double wide i paid 65,500 for. This market is fked and it will never go back even close to what it was.
I'd buy one! Thanks and thanks to the gentleman who put the idea together. Next step would be to stack them and make maybe a low-price housing project. It'd be great to discuss how it all connects to utilities, sewage, and the like. I am interested!
None of these videos ever explain much on the connections, I think because it all depends on your local situation, that's partly why I think I'm just going to look at a regular house.
They actually can! Here's a video of a Boxabl on top of another Boxabl. Click the link below to see an example of this. ruclips.net/video/aX1TUkX8bxs/видео.html
This is my favorite house you've shown so far! It is really innovative from the looks of it, and it is also something I could actually buy in the near future. Great video as always!
It's a great idea since houses are so expensive these days, but my question is where do you place these tiny houses? Do you have to buy a piece of land first in order to purchase this tiny house?
This feels like a massive step towards the future. housing prices are one of the biggest concerns to young people and this has the potential to fix alot of that. can't wait to see how this field develops
@@drdickqueso would you rather work your whole life so you can rent an apartment or home and never own anything? Sounds to me like that’s the only alternative to affordable housing alternatives.
I had REALLY high hopes for this until they mentioned "Boxable University". I doubt AYNONE would go out of their way to become a certified installer unless they live in a state where everyone is buying these. Trying to find someone certified would be the hardest part, probably.
Nah! Contractors everywhere will probably jump on this and simlly add it to their services. It's silly to think this company expects people to make their entire business based only on being a certified installer.
I think they'll partner with companies like uhaul, FedEx, Amazon and other companies that are more established and nationwide which would allow them to also offer the service of setting up a box home
This isn't the only company making portable homes, there's plenty around the world and I can bet you this 'university' is more like a 3 month course that you go through while working at another job, especially easy for someone already doing work on portable houses. The word university here is more so to add some sort of prestige I guess rather than it being a multiple year long commitment.
With other elements, like the price of the land and certified contractors, the price adds up something like 100k, but there are still huge advantages that make this way more interesting in my eyes : personalisation & speed. To me, Boxable won't make houses more affordable in the near term (though their houses will get cheaper as volume increases), but they definietly will make them way more of a purchase than a project. Once you signed the deed for the land, and dealt with the paperwork for the permit, you essentially only have to select your options & layout, press buy and wait for your home to arrive. Probably would be around a month of waiting list in a fully ramped-up state. That's VERY fast. Also, because it can be installed in a day, there are way less weather worries and other external conditions to factor in.
Surprising that there is so much room in there. That's the awesome part. But I worry about the flat roof. Any chance there would be standing rain water on the roof? That would cause a long term damage, right?
Love the modular concept of lego design where combining 2 ,3 or 4 units, as one start with 1 or 2 with lo g term plan to add 1 or 2 more as budget became available. So in the end have truly functional home that perfectly coexcists with all added units.
These are such an amazing idea, it just baffles me why it took so long for something like this to be invented. The main problems are zoning and permits etc. You can’t just buy one and put it anywhere. You need to refill the water and make sure the waste sewage is taken care of which might cause issues on where you can put these houses. and also usually in the inner cities there’s not much room at all to even put one of these things or land to buy. That’s the only problem I see with it is where to put them.
I allot of areas,these are considered,"Modular homes' and are screwed by major restriction even though a couple of them could be a "home".After HOURS of watching people build a home,to see 1 bolted together is a damn sight better,and quicker. Even if it's just '2-parts' not all 'Modular homes' are considered "Houses" unless on a permanent foundation.
i see your point! but its still a form of affordable housing in the sense that if after buying or leasing your land you don't have enough capital left to embark on the building of 3/4 bedroom apartment; this kind of tiny house could serve a temporary purpose or based off the materials used and the way its built you include your own expansion, you could incorporate a balcony and some extra rooms in the meantime till you can raise enough funds to build your actual dream house
Ryan This is futuristic concept which meant City Planners, By-laws, Councils, Regulators society will need to re-caliberate/re-design services infrastructure to accommodate these new housing typologies to suit the new challenges of the Environment and sustainability. A whole new future, we are moving into.
So you're paying the same price in the end to construct a normal house for a tiny box: Additional costs: 1) Foundation $10K $20K 2) Water, sewer hook ups $10K to $30K 3) Property to place it on at today's rates $50K to $100K Sum total mid pricing $50K box + $20K foundation + $30K water/sewer hook ups + 75K Or $175K mid price up to $200K for a small .10 acre lot to live in a box. For a cheaper land price area. Obviously more for higher land value areas. Same as construction costs to build a normal home. Not much savings here.
This is the comment I was looking for. I just can't see how this thing is practical in the end. It is a novelty for the wealthy. Which makes sense as they are the only people who will be able to buy anything soon enough.
Very good $$$...summing up, but try to think futuristic as how the structure is design and put together, 4 tie down bolts, clip-on service connections, ground space to the minimum or build on top another, tow behind trailer. This is when regulators, by-laws, planners and politicians put their heads together for a progressive world of tomorrow.
@@HydrateYoSelf ok you go build houses with hope. There are serious shortages in materials and costs are going up, but plenty of hope. I spend lots of time outside but never has it caused me to think hope > actual knowledge of house construction.
@@he8535 This is not with the cost of the land branless. You have to buy the land too. This is just the cost of materials and labor for the structure. But regular bigger structures cost the same or less. It takes $50K to build the bigger regular homes.
@@he8535 the point they are TRYING TO MAKE, is in Cali it might go for $300+k but if you go to say, Kentucky or maybe Virginia , you can find homes LARGER for like $75k-$175k

But being born and raised in Southern California and knowing just how amazing life can be here, it’d be impossible for some of us to ever leave here.
These small houses have always caught my interest, however personally I still think a better bang for your buck is buying brand new trailers and putting it on a plot of land if I was gonna go an extremely affordable route for a house. You can get really nice and big double wide trailers for like 30-50k with updated kitchens, bathrooms, open concepts, master suits, some have patios your can order to be built on them. If you want the full thing it’s a bit more expensive, but it’s the options you have. They’re much much much larger than small houses for similar prices and similar amenities. Id imagine the utility cost on a tiny house would be amazing though
@@Centermass762 yeah I shouldn’t have said double wide, double wides are about 80-90k I could have sworn I seen them for 30-50k. 30-50k gets you the single wide trailers, still though a much better deal than one of these. Just instead of triple and quadruple the room, you’ll have double to alittle below triple the amount of square footage. I must have mistaken the single wife’s for double wides when I was looking before (I actually was looking into Sherman village in canton Ohio on a rent to own bases, or just out right buying them and that’s where I got the numbers but I mistook the units)
why is this a good idea... think and use your thinking skills. people in can build this house if they invest in real skills like grandpa did....for much less money. its best to invest in people and their skills. if you really wanted cutting edge tech, you would look for a way to stop only fans and, gaming... men gaming ruins them to simp, and only fans keeps the simps form becoming men.
@@oscarbear7498 don’t ask me to think before you haven’t. This is a good idea because housing is one of the most expensive costs of anybodies lifetime. Also-grow up. How isn’t it obvious to you that people don’t have the time to learn to build houses when they are busy with their own work and families? It’s not 1642 bud. That’s why it’s a good idea. But if you can’t see that-because it’s not obvious then a pimple on your nose-I doubt I’ll convince you. Good luck in the past.

@@ezrafree619 trust me , I've thought about this long and hard. This is no '"new idea" several companies through out several countries have tried this.... don't just assume someone disagreeing is wrong. These fast homes are almost always a scam, to educate you on this would require me to dump over hundreds of hours of research into you. Which I would if you weren't rude. Also people who need... like NEED a house, have time had time to learn. What have you been doing to be in that situation, obviously people grinding and working don't have that issue. It's people who don't take responsibility and want things just given to them, easiest people to scam. Also The majority You have time... saying you don't for something like this???? It's your house. 1.water 2.food 3.Shelter Come on its basics of being a human, every single one of your ancestors knew that. What's your excuse? Start learning, fool. Like today.. Start learning NOW how to build one, in a year you might actually have something good.
I think houses like these need compensation like free water, gas connection, like if government restricts people building home in small area, it will save a lot of construction effort, less pollution in home area, and people can have more savings, these should absolutely be promoted, also I think if they compromise in quality somewhat, it can be done under $20k in many countries
Love your videos Enes, I want to pursue architecture and your videos have inspired me to do so, I love the modern lines and all the architectural details in all of the buildings you tour and show, in all your videos you perfectly show all that needs to be seen from the viewer, I don’t know how you do it but keep it up, your videos inspire many.
I actually just bought a small home and I wanted to make it bigger. Seeing this now got me wondering if I should get the Casita in the back. This is awesome 👌
A "Tesla House" would be amazing. With Elon's engineering ideas and the Space-X and Tesla production methods, Tesla Powerwall/solar roof, and some integrated Tesla-like smart home features...
My biggest worry is adapting a basement to any of these homes or tiny homes. Tornados are a scary thing in the region here and want cover for severe weather plus the storage a basement can provide. Incorporating a hatch or something like that would be nice.
Had been wondering the same for extra space. Wonder if they can place these on screw piles? Or just a concrete slab ? I’m assuming forms for a basement would work since it would be easier to run power and water
@@indianlawlearnerIt's a ceramic concrete mixture don't worry about earthquakes, plus it's not connected to the ground except for gravity so the most that an earthquake could do it shake it violently. And I can't say anything about tornadoes but if my guess is correct then the tornado won't be able to fling it across the sky due to the material's weight
Shouldn't be an issue, you'd just lose living space and likely only have a few options for staircase or hatch lid to avoid utilities.. Id burry a large cement septic tank directly underneath and use it for cold storage/ safe room, and a sm one to covertly collect rain water . Really they should make a sub ground model, would be cheaper not needing doors, windows or roof..

Lol
He probably owns one… but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t own a dozen mansions or more across the globe lol.
Very good
You are right. I heard Elon needs to either pee on the bed or take helicopters to go to the toilet in the midnight. He has such a huge and luxious home
For the people that already own a house, this is the great opportunity to assemble it in their backyard as a guesthouse!
Good point!
Agreee good point
Or sell the house own everything and be happy

What a contrast to the real-estate you normally show. Thanks for expanding out to alternative housing. It's nice to see bathrooms that costs $50k but its also nice to see a whole house that costs $50k. I really do appreciate the time your team spends to show us these things.

Absolutely love the innovation
I can definitely see the potential... I'm a single man, I live alone and I could live very comfortably in a house like that... Imagine minimalist lifestyle, no clutter, yet still with all the amenities we need. Easy to maintain and keep clean; it would be a joy to live in!!
Good point!
I worked in a modular commercial/residential building factory for 11 years. Worked every area of construction and realized how easy it is to build a functional living space that is spacious and easy to put together. It took about 3-4 days to build a home. Now, it's even faster to put together a home like this that is even a higher quality finish. Amazing.
Actually, maybe in a few years I will be interested in buying something like that. So, I'd like to ask you something. What about heating? Heating a regular apartment of this size would be cheaper or more expensive? Houses like this are well insulated and do not lose heat quickly or an opposite?
And how would you estimate all the costs, not only the house itself. Land, costs of delivery, running water and electricity installations?
@@pasjonatpl They are not hurricane resistant
@@nikkibeacth I don't worry about hurricanes. In my country rain and cold winds are the main problems.
Putting together a make shift home with instructions isn’t construction
but way harder to get zoning permits, money for land tax, and the power to ACTUALLY build the home. Amongst MANY other reasons. don't oversimplify this. of course its easier than ever to put together a home. it's called technology advancements lol... that being said it is far from easy to actually do
Interesting concept. What is really missing is all the other costs... like land, site prep, foundation, plumbing, sewer, water connection, transportation, erecting, permits, electrical etc. so when you consider that and adding it to your 50K box you'll have somewhere close to 100K. Then if you wanted bigger boxes or more of them to stack up, the cost will jump quite a bit and after you do all that would you really move it? It's not like its a single wide. Did not see how these are anchored down so they don't blow away, what is the wind rating, what is the warranty? I wonder if someone would buy like 20 of them and build a small community (like a trailer park). Might be an interest business idea.
That would be interesting to build a little community with them 🤣 he did say they were like Legos
Exactly.
There will be more cost than just the box. And if u count in the end it probably cost the same as building a starter house.
Facts. It's basically an unmovable caravan without the advantages and twice the price . You would be better renting a studio with proper walls.
If you already have the land it seems like a good idea better than camper trailer I think
Yeah, definitely not viable for an individual. But this definitely has some use for companies and gov to create temporary shelters and offices quickly. Imagine they had this ready during the pandemic, it would probably be used to create hospitals and vaccination centers. Lost opportunities.
Like the old school Sears homes. They shipped everything straight to you and you followed the directions and put it together. Only those homes were normal sizes. Some are still standing and being lived in today.
In my hometown their grouped together just south of downtown. And cover over a square mile. Their really nice. We also have WWII houses in another neighborhood.
Interesting that sears stopped doing it - also interesting that sears went out of business hmmm

this house is not telling me it's "small" but absolutely Efficient.

This is my favorite by far. Thanks for the content
Their latest is three times the floor area, two story, three bed/2 bath with an upper floor master and deck. You can go from this tiny house version to almost anything.
Spectacular efficiency and price. This could become a game changer for society. Especially with some solar panels and batteries. Our cars cost more in comparison. Really cool👍
It is far larger than japanese apartment though

50k USD is "affordable housing for the masses" only in countries where there isn´t a serious housing problem...
The tolerance of tiny homes is the precursor to making them the new standard.
The fact is their the standard size in the 1800s without the modern kit and bath. Modern is more cozy but need more food storage. In 1800s pantry was big enough for putting several barrel of flour smoked meat, 30 gal crocks of pickle, and pickled veg and fruit. We are talking 10 ft by 15 ft. FOR THE PANTRY. Or a root cellar the size of the house. Plus a wood shed.( or stacked on back porch for winter)
This is super cool. I really like it a lot. But I can't help but remember that an actual house used to cost $50,000 in 1980. Today, all you can afford is a box. How much has changed.

This would be great to put in my backyard as an office space. Wish they would have gone into more detail about the plumbing and electrical system. I'm assuming full solar but wonder how much work to connect to a grid and if it has traditional plumbing hookups for sewage drain and waterline connections?
Why would you assume full solar? No solar was shown and there's no way that price tag covers solar to run that kitchen and A/C. This is clearly designed for the grid. Maybe they will allow you to add on solar options, but more likely you're on your own to build a solar setup that will feed its grid connection.
Clearly it will have more or less traditional plumbing hookups, like any other prefab. Those are all standard fixtures, not RV/Marine type designed for holding tanks and dump sites.
Check local codes first.
@@savage.4.24 I’m zoned ok to do it. Just stuck deciding on buying a bigger house or building a work area in the backyard. Anything in LA that is reasonably priced around a million has been garbage the past few months. Everything requires at least another 150k in renovations.

If you have enough go for it though. I have a tool shed where i hide. No a/c but i don't have someone who complains all the time. Take pleasure in the small things.
Would love to see how you connect other boxes especially where the stairs would go if there’s an upstairs
3:01 You can see the stairs in the bottom left image. I have seen these stacked on top of each other an whilst I didnt get a chance to see the inside I was told they literally just dropped one on top of the other, wrapped some edging around the outside to hide the joint and boom they were done. Again the whole process took a little over an hour. I have seen someone take longer to unhitch and park a caravan lol
Well, the whole point of it is being modular, so chances are, they’ll have new models with stairs in them with no roof OR it will be a model that is taller than the others that does have a roof, and it will connect with other models to be just right, and probably have different kinds of stairs that you can get. That way you can have regular stairs, maybe with storage underneath, or have spiral stairs, maybe with glass all around it or not, depending on what the customer wants in that moment.

Like everybody's saying, this is just outstanding engineering. Design a tasteful living space with portability and cost as the primary constraints and you get this. I looks great and if more competitors join to make a market out of this, the idea of home ownership may change globally through the next decades. I can imagine this seriously being a consideration for many who can't afford a house on top of buying land. I could see someone (myself) spending more of their savings on buying land and then putting this on it instead. It looks more than adequate. Modular attachment functionality for more rooms would be a great revision to this product.

This is incredible to see. The mansions are amazing, but this is something most people can get their hands on.
Heck, the average quarter million dollar home in the US, you could sell that and get a 4 or 5 acre lot, and a boxabl for you, the kids, even a guest house and still come out with a few thousand in your pockets, and no mortgage. When the kiddo is ready for college, they can take their space with them, no need for an apartment.
If this really catches on, landlords could save fortunes providing utility hookups and flat pads for these. Set up a few lots near a University, got a dorm where the students arrive with their own homes, and leave with them when they're done. Also siding companies could make a fortune making exterior cladding for those who want their boxabl to look more traditional, even folding roof modules that had a traditional peaked roof, but were made of folding solar panels on a collapsible frame. Off grid with style, etc.
The potential of this concept is staggering, and with the economic crunch that people have felt for decades now as houses turned from 10 year investments to 30 year loans, this could wind it back. Buy a Boxable for 50 grand, and since it's modular, they could upgrade your home with panels and additions as your family grew, etc. My mind is blown, for sure!
I love reading what you have to say! Glad you like the house too!
Here's the only problem. Zoning laws. They won't let you slap this on your fully purchased land
And what do you imagine it costs to transport one of these? To break it down, $5,000. To transport it, $5,000. To reinstall it, $5,000. Then to hook up utilities anywhere to it, $15,000.
So, yeah, your average kollege kiddie aint' gonna be likely to buy one of dese to haul to Hahvahd Yahd wif him. NOT when that same $30,000 will provide you all FOUR YEARS of rent at kollege and then you can just pack your suitcase and move on.
On the other hand, a buddy bought a "mobile home" to live in while we were in law skool. He had it paid for, and sold it when he was done with skool for a profit, and moved on. SO there is that.

Was thinking the samething. Like grown kids wanting to start out. Or Grandparents that want to be closer but Not to close. Or take on a renter for extra income.
tiny homes have always fascinated me and these look so lovely, but the biggest thing that bugs me is how unattainable it actually is for the average person. even buying a normal house is almost completely out of the question for folks renting who live on tight budgets. tiny homes seem affordable because you hear '50,000$ house" but in reality you still need land to put it on, which requires a larger down payment than a home, and then with bare land you often have to figure out plumbing, sewer systems, electricity. not to mention the legal backflips involved. its so much more complex of an idea than it is being marketed as, and as cool as I think it is, I wish it was more attainable for lower income individuals who may see the price tag and get their hopes up. I'd be interested to see how this idea will develop in coming years, and how the loans for going through this process will look like in the future
fair enough
If it were economically sound they would have tiny home parks, just like mobile home parks. I'd love to see it, mobile homes are so flimsy and skirting is almost always poorly done at least these tiny homes seem more like a real building.
Putting a tiny house on a foundation is a great way to get a real house loan.
ITS ON A FOUNDATION therefore all utilities are permanent. And utilities don't treat it like a trailer. Install and monthly costs are cheaper because you will never back up a truck and move away without paying the bill.
The foundation is the difference.
Yes, I was just thinking about that, about the cost of land to put it on, plus any additional charges for essentials that need to be provided. It is still an amazing price and the way forward but not in the price range of most people.
Yep it’s easy to just put the end product cost
This is innovative! Loving the content Enes!
thank you! more to come!
As many of these videos I’ve watched, they have yet to explain how the plumbing and electrical is configured in these units. I would like to see an in depth video of these utilities.
you pay out of pocket for that. that's how.
I agree. I would also like to see closets!
@Kyle Wiech yeah this is really if you own a plot of land and don't think you can figure out how to build your own house. there will be a huge market for it but really you should take the time and just study building a house, we have the internet now. it's actually very simple and therapeutic from what i heard
RUclips is hardly the place to see the in-depth schematics you’re looking for. Have you tried asking (by phone or email) rather than waiting for a video to magically appear?
@@jamescheddar4896 but a whole giant house by yourself? Lmao
Now what we need is for the city to allow people to put these homes in their backyard without any regulations and without any restrictions from the City Hall municipality, etc. it must be enforced by the federal state and provincial government to allow boxable homes anywhere in the world to be purchased and sold
Would be neat if you did more tiny homes with high technology features.
...or the first tiny home with high technology features. This was not great. Just a lot of 'startup' marketing.
For what do you need a tiny home? It should be a huge house for a low price, not a box of matches for a mountain of cash, you seriously would rise your kids and live in it with your wife? I mean it looks a bit like something i see on construction sites or trailer parks.

I went to University of Florida M.E. Rinker school of building construction and had a decent career of it. At the time, repeatable/manufactured housing was just creeping into engineering classes. This is epic, and spot on with encapsulating what the building industry has learned over the last 50 years to show what’s necessary for quality, efficient, secure living. Keep it up and best of luck delivering on this much needed result of the potential of technology;)

Would be interested to see if boxabl's add together into larger houses, or if they can be compiled into an apartment-style building for more compact housing.
They actually can! Here's a video of a Boxabl on top of another Boxabl. Click the link below to see an example of this. ruclips.net/video/aX1TUkX8bxs/видео.html
@@EnesPlus I love that they can be stacked
The Founder was referring to the assembly process as Legos. It seems they can be attached horizontally or vertically per customer's request.
Both concepts are impractical.
Typically there is a square footage requirement to even place something, plus you need land, hookups, etc.
Expanding homes with these would require more foundation, more hookups, permits, etc, all over again, allot of $$, maybe cheaper than expanding naturally, but not by much, and an apartment-type structure wouldn't work either.
Again, cost, structural components, etc.
A traditional apartment would make way more sense.
I do think there could be little communities of these, but not enough to make a real impact.
Most will probably just put these in their backyards and stuff, the % that get rented out will be a small amount.
Did you watch the video? The answer is in the video.
Really love the concept of a tiny home, seeing someone doing something with the concept and make it durable and affordable is really amazing! I would like to see them do flood, mud slide and extreme wind testing with these units and see how well the build quality holds up to extreme nature events, to also see what kind of repairs would be involved after.
I'm seeing those forklift channels and thinking it'd be a great way to anchor the building down with various possible methods, or even create deck / balcony extensions with them also. May be a goal to get one of these instead of a trailer tiny home!
love that, thank you!!
These aren't really tiny homes though. They're too big for that label.
@@RyanHellyer The definition for "tiny" home is fairly loose. "Living Big in a Tiny home" channel. You could see a lot of places that have as much or more in square footage and even more amenities, some of them.
Not affordable at all you can build a tiny home yourself if your not dumb for way cheaper I mean way cheaper
@@YesYourRight Idea behind is to make it moveable and durable, while reducing the cost. You can build a shed maybe yeah but in big cities that have housing price of 2 million for apartments, this might be an ideal way to live
WOW so glad that I saw this and watched it. I love the concept of the home being built in a factory, no rain and possible mold like with conventional building and framing methods. Like the look and the kitchen and baths were amazing. Wanted to know if they did an incinerator toilet and how it works for water being brought in. Great concept and it will be interesting to see where this goes....I do think as a Realtor that this would be easier for a town to allow on a building lot then most of the smaller home units. Thanks for sharing
This is so great for someone who works long hours and doesn't really spend much time at home.... Love it
The biggest problem for boxable is local county and state building codes. Plus fees. In California those fees can be another $50,000 to hookup water, sewer, electric and anything else they want to charge. I really hope they take on those local state and building regulations.
Soon only the super rich and desperately poor will live in California. These houses will not fit their population, so nevermind the fees and other foolishness the state rips off the people. The rest of the states will profit from this innovation.
Fuck California
regulations are the single responsible for the housing crisis we are living through today.
That's why you shouldn't live in the people's republic of California
Don't move to CA or move out of it... and please leave the party that created these extorsive fees behind.
I'm impressed! Average price of a home for a couple in Wellington, New Zealand, is a whopping NZ$3,000,000! First time home buyers has already become not possible for 99% of us, with 30 year mortagages and the couples unable to save up for a deposit. Even myself as a middle class earner, most people are unable to afford the Cost Of Living. Its great to see this company to come up with a practical and affordable solution, shipping anywhere in the world, and for this well presented video.
couldn't agree more!
Fellow kiwi here, these are awesome & would help with our housing issues 👍
Average price of a home in Wellington is actually around $1m, not $3m
Have they delivered these to anyone other than governmental contracts? Have not heard of any lately. Is the waiting list getting smaller?
Im a building inspector in the city of Phoenix. These REALLY intrigue me. The Boxable University installer program is an awesome idea for someone like me, who could do it on the side and who has connections to many many contractors who also want side work. Its a perfect side job idea and my certifications would be marketable to a new home owner. I will 1000X be following up with that.

Already illegal in France, not eco enough, fck it
This is a truly astounding project. If they get up to top capacity as they envision this could figuratively and literally change the entire concept of housing, especially when you're able to stack and expand several units.
it does make it special
there is a reason why the factory in which these lego houses are built is built the traditional way.
Safety is the top priority for any kind of house. Safety against nature disasters, traffic accidents, and robbery too. If the house can be delivered this way by a truck then, can it also be possibly stolen by a robber with a truck?
Awesome/speechless...
This is where Murphy-style foldable furniture really adds value to the home. I didn't see a lot of storage options, however with the high ceilings, maybe there is room to stack storage options?
What’s the warranty? How much do you have to pay installers? Where can you see the different models?
11:03 when the wall sweeps out to the lip of the base it looks like a perfect place for rain to sheet down the wall and water to infiltrate the gap, seeping under the wall and into the house. No doubt something they have resolved on production versions. This being a prototype it is likely to have faults: I'd be interested to know how they resolved the junction between the floor and the pivotable walls.
I would guess that for this prototype version it is just to showcase how the house would be assembled. I do not believe you would repack the home later.
One solution I can think of is that once the home is assembled, you put a type of putty or grout into those edges to form a seal against the elements.
Then, IF you do want to pack the home up again, you just remove that sealant and pack the home.
Otherwise, I guess that would be a major maintenance thing you would have to check your home on to make sure it doesn't leak and get into the home.
I thought the same thing.
This is epic! Would love to have something like this on the mountains 😱
happy to hear that!
Only problem would be bears. They could easily break those glass doors if they were hungry.
buddy good luck with insulation
@@youdontknowme3935 Yup, insulation, despite being stated as "incredible", seems kind of minimalistic for cold places / countries. As an example, if one day they ship worldwide, I'd love one here in France, but damn, I sure know I would need to put more insulation from outside... -20C in the winter would be waaaaay too cold for this !
I walked past small sleepouts for sale today. There was a guy working in there so I stopped and asked how much they were. $25,000 he said.
And these are $50,000! There's absolutely no comparison. These are phenomenal!
Why is this funny. *I can either buy two sleep outs or an advance box house*
Hi, Linda how’re you doing?
What's a sleepout?
@@hilariohernandez a camper is my guess..
I came here for laughs but ended up actually liking it very much! My only problem is the size of the fridge - it’s gigantic! It could be cut in half and used as an additional cupboard or something. Aside from that - awesome, really awesome ❤
I think the refrigerator size is perfect as is. As a person who shops once per month for groceries I appreciate a large refrigerator-and in fact couldn’t live without one. I also cook and bake every week, so a large refrigerator is necessary.
I love the design of the house, and could be quite comfortable living in one. My only problem would be where to put it without being out in the middle of nowhere, rather than within city limits. Also, there was no mention of heating or air conditioning so that may be another unforeseen expense. Finally, there are no closets. If you have to add in IKEA style storage units that will begin to consume the available interior square footage.
American fridge !!
I think those kind of house will be much more common in the next 10-15 years. Everybody wants "his/her" own space and property and that´s a way to do it. Love the concept
I totally agree!
That looks like it could be a real game changer for a lot of people. I hope they'll have the whole process tightly locked up because there's a lot going on here, you need plenty more than the house itself, you need to own or rent a piece of land, level a spot, maybe lay foundations, connect to the electricty and water network, what about waste? ... I wonder how far they'll accompany the customer on these things.
They won't. They want the initial sale and then will move on to the next customer.
If you consider land price and all those things that's what makes a home expensive.
Just the materials plus assembling for a regular house much bigger than this is already just around 50.000$.
So what is the benefit to buy a small home that is assembled in 1 hour instead of a couple of months?
Seems like a big scam to me.
@@Leo-hr7yq Not really a scam, just something new, like trailers were back in the early 1950's. (they were touted as the housing revolution back then)
It's not their job to accommodate the owners of the homes. Those expenses should be expected
That’s exactly what concerns me. Awesome idea though.
Great concept. I love how Enes goes into full home touring mode at 13:49. Picked up so many details and really sold the space. Great collaboration!
thank you for the support!
Hi, how’re you?
So how do you mount heavy artwork or any shelving to those walls?
When I saw this, I first considered it as a replacement to mobile homes, to which this doesn't feel like a good approach. The cost for the unit is as much as a new single-wide mobile home, but at less than half the square footage. Sure it looks nice, but it is inferior compared to the competition in the owner markets this is aiming to cater to:
-For people who need a manufactured home due to cost, portability is meaningless and they will choose a single wide for more floorspace at the same cost.
-For people with enough money for a highly portable traveling home, an RV would be cheaper due to the lack of shipping costs.
-For those who could combine pieces to construct a larger home, the cost/sqft would be greater than a fixed home.
-For undeveloped country markets, the portability may make it the only manufactured option, but likely still cost prohibitive for those living there.
Where these DO make sense is for people who want guest rooms in large estates, cabin rentals, festival setups, MAYBE as a country house on someone's second property, or for missionary/scientific outposts. I don't think people are going to be LIVING in these.
I agree with all the points you have made. I hate to say it, but these seem like a posh mobile home that try to fulfill a need by making it needlessly complicated and more expensive, albeit with better marketing.
Manufactured homes do have their issues, mostly they are made with inferior materials, and those that arent, tend to still keep the stigma with them. With all that said, they are so much more affordable compared to these.
Yeah or these will become Airbnb units
It's $49,500 before delivery.
They should honestly partner with Airbnb or some other property rental company, these are only beneficial as temporary living spaces
The just want humans in a cage.
this is really cool and affordable, but i would still prefer to have a 3d printed house out of concrete any day. There are pros and cons to both, this home would appeal more to people who want to travel and not be confined to a van or rv.
Or people who want to buy a lot of land
Unbelievable concept! Love how they use quality materials so you know it's well built.
We agree!
Do these come with power walls?
This is soooo great for vacation spots. Florida trailer homes now have competition. Loving the new small homes for the future. Safety in storms and bad weather would be a concern if I wanted this.

Can they do a demo on how the modularity works with adding multiple units into one? Like with 2 or 3 or with a second level etc
Exactly what I wanted to see haha
It looks like even with that display model that the wall that's basically just windows could be removed and two models could be "shoved" together to make a double sized unit. I'm sure they'd have to be 2 custom units designed to be placed together. This is clearly proof of concept for something that could be far more amazing especially if it catches on and they can eventually get costs down to ~25k/unit

On the one hand, I love the idea of Boxabl because alternative housing is definitely needed. On the other hand, it seems like there’s only one look available, which is sleek, ultra modern, and cold. There is nothing like the warmth and beauty of wood or brick.
real warmth and beauty comes from being able to afford to keep warm and safe
You can always add interior wooded or stone walls inside if you didn’t plan to move it. Same thing to the outside.
Plants help
It’s a blank slate. You can add whatever you want to it
Brother in christ, it's a $50k house made to be as small and affordable as possible. If you want warm buy an actual full sized real house. This is like being disappointed that your McDonald's take home meal didn't live up to your Michelin Star standards
As much as I enjoy smaller cozy spaces, this tiny home trend is just a craze to normalize living in pods so they can continue to expand housing infrastructure vertically and grab all the land to develop industry on without people fighting back against essentially being confined to personalized cells.

Just stumbled upon this and I am really diggin the concept and quality. This is something affordable one could put on their property and write off as a home office legitimately without trying to figure out the square footage and the like. Awesome presentation. 👊🏿🙂
Exactly. I wouldn’t mind dropping one or two on a plot of land
Yeah I wonder if you could replace a garage with one of these to work as an ADU and if the cost:quality ratio would be decent.
I agree.
I would love love love one of those boxable casitas BUT with my own design inside. That washer/dryer would have to be in the bathroom, hideaway bed, drop down counter/table space with ROUNDED corners and smaller appliances.
That washer/dryed being in the bedroom would bug me.
Hopefully when they get production going, they will allow people to choose options.
Due to my chronic pain, I have to have my walk-in tub. It looks like there is plenty of room in that shower area for both my tub and the washer.
Also, I worked as a nurse for almost 50 years. I could not relax in the sterile environment, I would need some wood and other natural materials.
This is like the "new" mobile home, except much more expensive. I remember my Grandma's mobile home was a double wide with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Nice, open concept kitchen/living room. Much less than $50k. This thing is less than half of that for the same price.
Except double wides are much more expensive now. Im moving into a 20 year old double wide i paid 65,500 for. This market is fked and it will never go back even close to what it was.
Hahaha this isn't the 1970s. New double-wides are $120,000+.

Great Tour. This is exactly what I wanted to know.
It's a great idea since houses are so expensive these days, but my question is where do you place these tiny houses? Do you have to buy a piece of land first in order to purchase this tiny house?
Yes you need land.
Not all land is suitable for this there’s some annoying rules that don’t allow mobile homes or stuff like this
Nope. You place it in outer space.
You figure out where it's gonna go. Obviously if you're gonna buy this you would have done that ahead of time.
Just put it in your house..

I had REALLY high hopes for this until they mentioned "Boxable University". I doubt AYNONE would go out of their way to become a certified installer unless they live in a state where everyone is buying these. Trying to find someone certified would be the hardest part, probably.
Nah! Contractors everywhere will probably jump on this and simlly add it to their services. It's silly to think this company expects people to make their entire business based only on being a certified installer.
I think they'll partner with companies like uhaul, FedEx, Amazon and other companies that are more established and nationwide which would allow them to also offer the service of setting up a box home
This isn't the only company making portable homes, there's plenty around the world and I can bet you this 'university' is more like a 3 month course that you go through while working at another job, especially easy for someone already doing work on portable houses. The word university here is more so to add some sort of prestige I guess rather than it being a multiple year long commitment.
wrong wrong wrong.
LOL the whole fcking point was me installing it myself
With other elements, like the price of the land and certified contractors, the price adds up something like 100k, but there are still huge advantages that make this way more interesting in my eyes : personalisation & speed.
To me, Boxable won't make houses more affordable in the near term (though their houses will get cheaper as volume increases), but they definietly will make them way more of a purchase than a project. Once you signed the deed for the land, and dealt with the paperwork for the permit, you essentially only have to select your options & layout, press buy and wait for your home to arrive. Probably would be around a month of waiting list in a fully ramped-up state. That's VERY fast. Also, because it can be installed in a day, there are way less weather worries and other external conditions to factor in.
Surprising that there is so much room in there. That's the awesome part. But I worry about the flat roof. Any chance there would be standing rain water on the roof? That would cause a long term damage, right?
As an practicing Architect, Boxabl is beyond overkill mad respect.
Love the modular concept of lego design where combining 2 ,3 or 4 units, as one start with 1 or 2 with lo g term plan to add 1 or 2 more as budget became available. So in the end have truly functional home that perfectly coexcists with all added units.
These are such an amazing idea, it just baffles me why it took so long for something like this to be invented. The main problems are zoning and permits etc. You can’t just buy one and put it anywhere. You need to refill the water and make sure the waste sewage is taken care of which might cause issues on where you can put these houses. and also usually in the inner cities there’s not much room at all to even put one of these things or land to buy. That’s the only problem I see with it is where to put them.
I allot of areas,these are considered,"Modular homes' and are screwed by major restriction even though a couple of them could be a "home".After HOURS of watching people build a home,to see 1 bolted together is a damn sight better,and quicker.
Even if it's just '2-parts' not all 'Modular homes' are considered "Houses" unless on a permanent foundation.
Had this exact thought
i see your point! but its still a form of affordable housing in the sense that if after buying or leasing your land you don't have enough capital left to embark on the building of 3/4 bedroom apartment; this kind of tiny house could serve a temporary purpose or based off the materials used and the way its built you include your own expansion, you could incorporate a balcony and some extra rooms in the meantime till you can raise enough funds to build your actual dream house
Ryan This is futuristic concept which meant City Planners, By-laws, Councils, Regulators society will need to re-caliberate/re-design services infrastructure to accommodate these new housing typologies to suit the new challenges of the Environment and sustainability. A whole new future, we are moving into.
So you're paying the same price in the end to construct a normal house for a tiny box:
Additional costs:
1) Foundation $10K $20K
2) Water, sewer hook ups $10K to $30K
3) Property to place it on at today's rates $50K to $100K
Sum total mid pricing $50K box + $20K foundation + $30K water/sewer hook ups + 75K
Or $175K mid price up to $200K for a small .10 acre lot to live in a box. For a cheaper land price area. Obviously more for higher land value areas.
Same as construction costs to build a normal home.
Not much savings here.
This is the comment I was looking for. I just can't see how this thing is practical in the end. It is a novelty for the wealthy. Which makes sense as they are the only people who will be able to buy anything soon enough.
Very good $$$...summing up, but try to think futuristic as how the structure is design and put together, 4 tie down bolts, clip-on service connections, ground space to the minimum or build on top another, tow behind trailer. This is when regulators, by-laws, planners and politicians put their heads together for a progressive world of tomorrow.
Plus the fact that any damage repair will cost x3 times more.
@@HydrateYoSelf ok you go build houses with hope. There are serious shortages in materials and costs are going up, but plenty of hope. I spend lots of time outside but never has it caused me to think hope > actual knowledge of house construction.
California's can't imagine paying less than $800 / SQ ft so they're perfect!

How about you go to the supermarket and buy some brans. Regular homes cost that much.
@@he8535 This is not with the cost of the land branless. You have to buy the land too. This is just the cost of materials and labor for the structure. But regular bigger structures cost the same or less. It takes $50K to build the bigger regular homes.
no air conditioning. they use "mini-split heat pumps". they work great for cooling. theyre terrible for heating once temperature drops below freezing.
@@he8535 the point they are TRYING TO MAKE, is in Cali it might go for $300+k but if you go to say, Kentucky or maybe Virginia , you can find homes LARGER for like $75k-$175k
@@savagejoker5738 No you edy yacht, they don't include the land to set the house on. You have to buy that separately. You are dreaming if you think you can buy a house plus land for $50K anywhere in America. Except for Detroit and deep rural.

Finally affordable living! I'm currently 14 and watching this from L.A where home prices continue to increment. Knowing that this is now an option adds a new wave of reassurance to my future.
dream big! you got this!
You can get a whole house 🏡 in the Midwest for this price.
You still need land that is perked with a septic system of some kind, plus a driveway of some kind and basic landscaping. Another 50 or 60K at least .
@@titianmom midwest a nice 🏡
@@brandonlifefamily8331 the Midwest will never compare to California though. But for those that want a more simple life the Midwest and east coast are fiscally unmatched. But being born and raised in Southern California and knowing just how amazing life can be here, it’d be impossible for some of us to ever leave here.
These small houses have always caught my interest, however personally I still think a better bang for your buck is buying brand new trailers and putting it on a plot of land if I was gonna go an extremely affordable route for a house. You can get really nice and big double wide trailers for like 30-50k with updated kitchens, bathrooms, open concepts, master suits, some have patios your can order to be built on them. If you want the full thing it’s a bit more expensive, but it’s the options you have. They’re much much much larger than small houses for similar prices and similar amenities. Id imagine the utility cost on a tiny house would be amazing though
Please find me a brand new double-wide for $30-50k. I'll wait.
A new moderately appointed Double wide is generally over 100k.
IS IT GOOD FOR AN EXTREME TEMPETURE LIKE THIS CASITAS??? BECAUSE THATS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART...
@@kitosthefirst349 WHY ARE YOU YELLING
@@Centermass762 yeah I shouldn’t have said double wide, double wides are about 80-90k I could have sworn I seen them for 30-50k. 30-50k gets you the single wide trailers, still though a much better deal than one of these. Just instead of triple and quadruple the room, you’ll have double to alittle below triple the amount of square footage. I must have mistaken the single wife’s for double wides when I was looking before (I actually was looking into Sherman village in canton Ohio on a rent to own bases, or just out right buying them and that’s where I got the numbers but I mistook the units)
I don’t think people really appreciate the thought that went into this idea. This is pretty incredible concept.
why is this a good idea... think and use your thinking skills. people in can build this house if they invest in real skills like grandpa did....for much less money. its best to invest in people and their skills. if you really wanted cutting edge tech, you would look for a way to stop only fans and, gaming... men gaming ruins them to simp, and only fans keeps the simps form becoming men.
@@oscarbear7498 don’t ask me to think before you haven’t. This is a good idea because housing is one of the most expensive costs of anybodies lifetime. Also-grow up. How isn’t it obvious to you that people don’t have the time to learn to build houses when they are busy with their own work and families? It’s not 1642 bud. That’s why it’s a good idea. But if you can’t see that-because it’s not obvious then a pimple on your nose-I doubt I’ll convince you. Good luck in the past.
I agree, it's a great concept.
@@oscarbear7498 bro...gaming is a hobby u can say the same for fucking surfing bro... also like @Erza Free said its not 1642 LMAO yeah u can go build ur own fucking house by learning how to.. but like bro its too much effort... in that time i can go learn something like coding, get a job, go buy a boxable home and i will have a home, and a useful skill nd u ccan have ur fucking home built by urself that u spent alot of time wasted xd plus as Ezra said its costly to build a house and main thing.... TIME u gon waste a shit ton of time
@@ezrafree619 trust me , I've thought about this long and hard. This is no '"new idea" several companies through out several countries have tried this.... don't just assume someone disagreeing is wrong.
These fast homes are almost always a scam, to educate you on this would require me to dump over hundreds of hours of research into you. Which I would if you weren't rude.
Also people who need... like NEED a house, have time had time to learn. What have you been doing to be in that situation, obviously people grinding and working don't have that issue. It's people who don't take responsibility and want things just given to them, easiest people to scam. Also The majority
You have time... saying you don't for something like this???? It's your house.
1.water
2.food
3.Shelter
Come on its basics of being a human, every single one of your ancestors knew that. What's your excuse?
Start learning, fool. Like today.. Start learning NOW how to build one, in a year you might actually have something good.
I think houses like these need compensation like free water, gas connection, like if government restricts people building home in small area, it will save a lot of construction effort, less pollution in home area, and people can have more savings, these should absolutely be promoted, also I think if they compromise in quality somewhat, it can be done under $20k in many countries
Amazing concept and huge potential. One question though… how do you connect these to all the services required ; electricity; plumbing etc. ?
Love your videos Enes, I want to pursue architecture and your videos have inspired me to do so, I love the modern lines and all the architectural details in all of the buildings you tour and show, in all your videos you perfectly show all that needs to be seen from the viewer, I don’t know how you do it but keep it up, your videos inspire many.
glad you're taking inspiration from our videos!
All good.
I actually just bought a small home and I wanted to make it bigger. Seeing this now got me wondering if I should get the Casita in the back. This is awesome 👌

for the same money you could build a proper house extension
Do it
Dang papi where is my invite
How do you get water & electricity set up? That’s my biggest concern.
A "Tesla House" would be amazing. With Elon's engineering ideas and the Space-X and Tesla production methods, Tesla Powerwall/solar roof, and some integrated Tesla-like smart home features...
My biggest worry is adapting a basement to any of these homes or tiny homes. Tornados are a scary thing in the region here and want cover for severe weather plus the storage a basement can provide. Incorporating a hatch or something like that would be nice.
Had been wondering the same for extra space. Wonder if they can place these on screw piles? Or just a concrete slab ? I’m assuming forms for a basement would work since it would be easier to run power and water
Stay safe and thanks for your valuable input!
If eartgquake comes than ?.
@@indianlawlearnerIt's a ceramic concrete mixture don't worry about earthquakes, plus it's not connected to the ground except for gravity so the most that an earthquake could do it shake it violently. And I can't say anything about tornadoes but if my guess is correct then the tornado won't be able to fling it across the sky due to the material's weight
Shouldn't be an issue, you'd just lose living space and likely only have a few options for staircase or hatch lid to avoid utilities.. Id burry a large cement septic tank directly underneath and use it for cold storage/ safe room, and a sm one to covertly collect rain water . Really they should make a sub ground model, would be cheaper not needing doors, windows or roof..
