Autonomous modular living, built for island conditions.
FlexBox One is a roughly 640 sq. ft. modular home built from two 40-foot High Cube containers, engineered as a complete residential system rather than simply a converted shipping container.
Designed for The Bahamas and similar island environments, FlexBox combines modern living space with integrated energy, water and resilience systems in a compact, repeatable format.
2 × 40 ft High Cube
~640 sq. ft. interior
1 Bedroom + Home Office
Full Kitchen + Bathroom
Solar + Battery Ready
Designed for Off-Grid Capability
A Complete Home in a Smaller Footprint
The two-container configuration creates a wider, continuous interior rather than a narrow container-style layout.
FlexBox One is designed around four primary zones:
Bedroom
A dedicated private sleeping space with built-in storage and natural light.
Kitchen + Living
An open central living area with a full residential kitchen, dining capacity and indoor-outdoor connection.
Bathroom + Utility Core
Plumbing, water systems and other essential services are concentrated into an efficient central zone.
Home Office
A dedicated workspace designed for remote work, connectivity and flexible use as a guest or multipurpose room.
A covered exterior deck extends the usable living area while maintaining the compact footprint of the core structure.
Built-In Independence
FlexBox can be configured with an integrated infrastructure package designed to reduce dependence on conventional utility networks.
Solar Power
A roof-mounted or adjacent solar array supplies renewable energy directly to the home’s electrical system.
Battery Storage
Approximately 12–15 kWh of battery storage provides nighttime power, outage protection and energy management.
Backup Power
An auxiliary power unit can automatically provide additional generation when solar production and stored energy are insufficient.
Water Systems
FlexBox can combine:
Rainwater collection for bulk household water
Filtration and treatment for safe domestic use
Atmospheric water generation for potable water and additional resilience
Rather than depending exclusively on atmospheric water generation, the systems work together to create a more efficient and practical island water solution.
Designed for the Environment
FlexBox is intended to be engineered around the realities of Caribbean construction.
Elevated foundation systems
Corrosion-resistant materials
Hurricane-conscious structural engineering
Solar shading and covered outdoor areas
High-efficiency cooling
Reduced site disturbance
Modular construction and deployment
The result is not simply a container home.
It is a deployable residential system.
FlexBox Independence Package
For sites where utility access is limited—or where greater resilience is desired—the FlexBox Independence Package can integrate:
- Solar generation
- 12–15 kWh battery storage
- Inverter and energy-management systems
- Backup APU/generator
- Rainwater harvesting
- Water storage and filtration
- Atmospheric potable-water generation
- Remote system monitoring
Systems can be configured according to site conditions, occupancy and desired level of independence.
What Does a FlexBox Cost?
FlexBox is currently being developed as a standardized modular building system, with final pricing dependent on site conditions, finishes and infrastructure requirements.
A fully installed FlexBox One is expected to fall broadly within:
$115,000–$165,000+
excluding land.
More complex sites, upgraded finishes, extensive decks, foundations, utility work and higher-capacity energy or water systems may increase project cost.
A fully equipped first-generation installation with energy and water independence may reach approximately $155,000–$195,000, particularly on challenging sites.
As FlexBox moves into standardized production, the objective is to reduce construction cost through repeatable engineering, prefabrication and volume procurement.
Not a Cheap Container House
FlexBox is not being developed as the lowest-cost way to turn a shipping container into a dwelling.
The container is simply the structural starting point.
The product is the complete system around it:
Structure. Energy. Water. Climate. Connectivity. Deployment.
That allows FlexBox to deliver a compact home capable of being installed in places where conventional construction can be expensive, slow or infrastructure-dependent.
Modular Living for a Brighter Tomorrow.
Smaller footprint.
Greater independence.
