The concept: a prefab apartment that moves with you from place to place Kasita is the stuff of housing dreams: an elegantly modern, smart, stackable, prefab home that can be carted around and relocated just about anywhere. Though its square footage clocks in at a mere 352 square feet, Kasita is no cutesily gabled tiny house. Its vibe is more sleekly futuristic than adorably precious, in part because of its makers? ambition for the homes to operate more like a piece of advanced technology?seamlessly.
The brainchild of ?Professor Dumpster? Jeff Wilson, Kasita was envisioned as a small, affordable housing option for mobile, packing-averse millennials. The chief selling point of its first prototype was that the whole unit could be transported from city to city without the need for boxing up belongings and finding a new abode.
But more than a year after the first prototype was developed, an improved Kasita design is poised for its first commercial run. The new version is larger, and features a host of smart tech integrations ranging from glass windows with adjustable transparency to Amazon voice controls, a Doorbird doorbell, and fancy water-conserving shower.

The company is taking names for those wishing to purchase units of the initial production. A $1,000 fee holds your spot in line, and $139,000 gets you a unit when they?re ready.
