Floor Plan Strategy
The compact design of the MiniBox allows all expected amenities from a traditional home to be factory-built and installed, including a full bathroom, apartment-sized fridge, induction cooktop, kitchen sink, microwave, and washer/dryer combo.
The design consolidates plumbing into one wall, allowing two units to be folded and shipped inside a standard 40' container.
