Boxabl 2-Bedroom Casita: Complete Specs, Pricing & Foundation Guide (2025)

8 min readApril 28, 2025By Oasis Engineering LLC

The Boxabl 2-Bedroom Casita Is Here

The Boxabl 2-Bedroom Casita (Model BXB-000016) is the latest addition to Boxabl's lineup of factory-built, folding panel homes. Unlike the original single-module Casita, the 2-Bed model is a multi-module configuration — two 19' x 19' units connected on-site to create a full 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom single family home.

This is a game-changer for anyone who loved the Casita concept but needed more space. Let's break down everything we know.

Building Envelope & Insulation

The 2-Bed Casita uses the same proprietary Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) system as the original Casita, evaluated under ICC-ES report ESR-4725:

  • Exterior Walls: 6" assembly with R-23.47
  • Floor: 7.125" assembly with R-28.3
  • Ceiling: 7.125" assembly with R-27.68

These R-values mean the 2-Bed Casita performs well even in extreme climates. Some climate zones may require additional roof insulation — check your local energy code.

Structural Ratings

The structural specs matter for foundation engineering because they determine how loads transfer from the home to your foundation:

  • Floor Live Load: 40 psf
  • Roof Live Load: 20 psf (flat roof)
  • Ground Snow Load: Up to 100 psf with truss roof
  • Seismic Design Category: D
  • Wind Speed Rating: 140/120 MPH (Exposure B/C)

These are robust ratings. The 140 MPH wind speed means this home is designed for hurricane-prone areas like Florida and the Gulf Coast. If you're in a high-wind zone, you'll want to make sure your foundation is engineered to match — which is exactly what we do at BoxablFoundations.com.

What's Included

The 2-Bed Casita comes factory-complete with:

  • Complete 2-bedroom layout with laundry center
  • Full kitchen with cabinetry, countertops, double sink
  • Full-size stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, microwave, range, dishwasher, heat pump water heater, combination washer/dryer)
  • 18,000 BTU ductless heating & AC system
  • Full bathroom with generous shower, vanity, LED back-lit mirror
  • 8' tall double-pane low-e windows and solid exterior doors
  • LED lighting throughout (down lights, pendant over breakfast bar, exterior sconces)
  • Luxury composite wide-plank flooring
  • All interior & exterior trim

Foundation Requirements for the 2-Bed Casita

Here's where it gets important. The 2-Bedroom Casita has different foundation requirements than the standard Casita:

Weight: At 13,000 lbs total, the 2-Bed model is significantly heavier than a single Casita. Your foundation needs to be engineered for this load.

Multi-Module Connections: The two modules connect on-site, which means the foundation must be precisely laid out to align with both modules and their connection points.

Seismic & Wind: With Seismic Design Category D and 140 MPH wind ratings, the foundation must include proper hold-downs, anchor bolts, and shear transfer connections designed by a licensed Professional Engineer.

Our PE-stamped foundation plans account for all of these factors. We design site-specific foundations for the 2-Bed Casita starting at $749, with plans ready for permit submission in 39 states.

Realistic Cost Breakdown

Here's what a typical 2-Bed Casita project costs all-in:

ItemEstimated Cost
Boxabl 2-Bed Casita (home)~$99,000+
Foundation (concrete slab)$15,000–$25,000
Foundation Engineering Plans$749–$1,999
Site Prep & Utilities$5,000–$15,000
Permitting$1,000–$3,000
Crane/Delivery$2,000–$5,000
Total Estimated$125,000–$150,000

This makes the 2-Bed Casita one of the most affordable paths to a new-construction 2-bedroom home in America.
