Kanye West Expresses Interest in Meeting with Boxabl

Read Time:4 Minute, 4 Second

Kanye West, known for his efforts to make homes more affordable and sustainable, has said he would be open to meeting with Boxabl, the creator of a house that unpacks in just an hour. West made the remarks during a podcast he was recording in September 2022. 

Boxabl is accelerating efforts in the housing industry to make quality, legitimate homes that are less expensive and easier to create through the use of manufacturing lines at its factories. The first of its homes, the 375-ft.2 Casita, has generated significant interest, especially since one of the owners of its prototypes is none other than Elon Musk

The news that the billionaire had purchased the $50,000 home designed by Boxabl is likely one reason the waitlist for the Casita has surpassed 110,000 customers. It is also dispelling any doubts about the company’s legitimacy. The co-founders of Boxabl, Galiano Tiramani and Paolo Tiramani, believe that because customers understand that manufactured homes are not a scam, they feel free to purchase a house that is affordable, sustainable, safe, and comfortable.

“The Casita is redefining how people see homes,” Galiano says. “They understand that housing does not have to be astronomical in costs. Also, the Casita is helping people to rethink a home’s impact on the environment. Lastly, they see it as a legitimate, efficient way to quickly re-house victims of natural disasters, such as tornadoes and hurricanes.”

To create a new way to make homes, Paolo and Galiano turned to the car industry, where automobiles were turned out by the minute instead of months, as was the case with homes. By eliminating the bloated costs of overhead and producing houses in factories, Boxabl could revolutionize an entire industry.  

“We dreamed big and dared even bigger,” says Paolo. “We could see no reason why a house couldn’t be assembled just like a car in under 60 seconds. It took a while and a lot of thought, but we came up with a very precise, choreographed way to assemble walls, put in a sink, install paneling, and create a house. It resulted in the Casita, which is giving America a different model for affordable, sustainable homes.”

To avoid the impression that their houses lacked creativity or personality, Boxabl based their design on the Legos concept: the owner can customize their home by stacking and connecting different configurations. 

Inside the Casita, homeowners find all the amenities of a traditional house, including a full-sized kitchen, bathroom and living space. Every inch of its 375 ft.2 is designed to maximize the space. Features that include a vessel sink, sliding glass door, deep shower/tub, cupboards, oven, sink next to a window, and fridge surprise people who typically expect “small” to mean “sparse.”

Weather, of course, was a concern, one that Galiano and Paolo addressed in the Casita’s design. Steel, concrete, and EPS foam are its core components since none of them biodegrade. Structurally laminated panels in the walls, floor, and roof reinforce the Casita and make it stronger than the average building. It is also fire resistant, rated for snow loads and hurricane-speed winds, and is less likely to be damaged by floods or mold.

“The Casita is exactly what the world needs in order to solve the housing crisis,” says Galiano. “We are thankful to be leading the movement to create high-quality homes that don’t require a 30-year mortgage and that can quickly shelter people who have lost everything to a storm.”
