Kasita Austin
Kasita is the 21st alternative to trailer park homes. Imagine that you buy (or rent) a Kasita, which is located like a condo apartment in a structure in Austin. But it can be moved to Brooklyn or Portland.

STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM
The best ideas often spring from unanticipated sources and Kasita is no exception. The concept emerged during Jeff Wilson’s yearlong stint living in a used dumpster, a social experiment that reduced the definition of “home” to a 33 square foot extreme.
While the dumpster was, in many ways, an impractical dwelling, there were a surprising number of perks: it could move anywhere; rent was low; commutes were short; and the local neighborhood became an intimate living room.
As the experiment drew to a close, Wilson took what he’d learned and returned to the drawing board where Kasita came to life, a new category of home that married iconic design and pioneering technology with insights gleaned from a trashcan.
‘Professor Dumpster’ took his experience and turned it into a project about minimal living.
