BOXABL Unveils UFO Concept for Lunar Habitats, Opens IP for Innovation

BOXABL, known for its foldable, affordable housing solutions, has unveiled a conceptual off-world habitation system called UFO (Unidentified Folding Object). Designed to tackle the logistical challenges of transporting and deploying livable structures beyond Earth, the UFO concept leverages foldable building intellectual property to launch in a compact configuration and expand into larger living spaces after deployment. The concept was developed by an after-hours skunkworks engineering team and is featured in the company’s video “LIVE ON THE MOON (Part 1) — UFO by BOXABL.” BOXABL plans to make the UFO intellectual property available on a royalty-free basis to encourage broader innovation in off-world habitation systems, while emphasizing that the project remains separate from its core mission of advancing housing affordability and construction efficiency on Earth.

BOXABL’s primary focus remains on transforming the housing market with its modular building systems. The company’s flagship product, the Casita, is a 361 square foot studio unit that unfolds on-site in less than an hour. BOXABL also offers the Baby Box, a 120 square foot unit built to RV code for simpler setups, and is developing stackable and connectable box models for larger configurations. Founded in 2017, BOXABL has attracted worldwide attention for its innovative approach to solving housing challenges. The company is also associated with FG Merger II Corp., a SPAC formed for a potential business combination.
