Elon Musk Lives in a Tiny House!
Aug 11, 2021
These days tiny homes have become a new trend and are replacing the classic family home or apartment. The little living units have become popular, and they've attracted the attention of one of the world's richest men: Elon Musk. check out more details below:
Elon reportedly lives in the Casita, a $49,500 375-square-foot unit created by Las Vegas-based Boxabl.
The house where Musk currently resides is actually a modern era minimalist house designed by Boxabl, a housing startup company. Architectural Digest reported that the house is a foldable, prefabricated home whose dimensions are a transportable 20×20 unit that is about 400 square feet.
In November 2020, Boxabl announced it had installed a Casita in Boca Chica, Texas for a 'top secret customer.' Tiramani did not confirm Musk's residency.
The company's history dates back to 2017, when the Las Vegas team decided to create its tiny homes after it saw a "huge opportunity to transition building construction worldwide into the factory assembly line," just like any other everyday product, Tiramani said. As per Tiramani, other prefab homemakers struggle with one glaring issue: shipping logistics.
But this is not the case with Casitas as they can be folded down from 20 feet to about 8.5 feet while it's being transported on a truck or towed by a pickup truck.
All of Casita's finishes - like the kitchen, bathroom, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC - are made in the factory before they are shipped out and fixed. When the Casita arrives at its final destination, the home just needs to be unfolded and then attached to its facilities. Though, it takes hours to fix the house.
