Custom Shipping Container Builds

Cajas (kah-hahs) is a Durango, Colorado based custom shipping container builder.  We specialize in ADUs (accessory dwelling units), espresso and ice cream kiosks, saunas, gyms, and rugged utility units. That includes our new wildfire defense container. If you can imagine it, Cajas can build it from a shipping container 

HOW ABOUT AN ADU?

Our residential models make for the perfect ADU additions. Keep those loved ones close, but not too close.  Cajas helps you bring in-laws, parents, friends or adult children right next door while not overcrowding.

MAYBE A HOME OFFICE?

CONSIDERING A HOME GYM?

Fitness should be simple, not a commute. From CrossFit to yoga and everything in between, the Cajas can put a fully functional gym steps from your door.

ABOUT US

Cajas — Spanish for “box”, captures our belief that simple forms can become thoughtful, well-built spaces. Based in Durango, Colorado, we design and manufacture dwellings from recycled shipping containers using an off-site, factory-built approach.
