A Home in a Box. Dignity Without Compromise.
BoxHaven transforms decommissioned shipping containers into dignified micro-homes and vibrant community spaces — affordable, fast to deploy, and built for lasting impact.
Three Ways We Build Better
Every container we touch gets a new purpose — and gives someone a new beginning.
Container Micro-Homes
Safe, insulated, and dignified single or family units for the chronically homeless. Each home includes a kitchen nook, bathroom, and climate control — built to last 30+ years.
Community Spaces
Repurposed containers become urban gardens, maker workshops, co-working hubs, and shelters. We design spaces that bring communities together and create economic opportunity.
Turnkey Social Projects
End-to-end project delivery for municipalities and NGOs — from site assessment and permits to construction and handover. We handle complexity so you focus on your mission.
The Numbers Speak
Container housing is not a compromise — it is a smarter, faster, greener path to dignified living.
A BoxHaven unit typically costs $15,000–$35,000 fully fitted, compared to $150,000+ for conventional affordable housing.
Factory-prepared modules ship ready to connect. Site prep, utilities, and final fit-out happen concurrently, cutting build time by 80%.
Corten steel containers withstand extreme weather. We insulate, waterproof, and ventilate each unit to exceed residential standards.
Repurposing existing steel avoids the massive carbon cost of new manufacturing. Paired with solar panels and rainwater capture, each home treads lightly.
