About Kubed Living

Kubed Living is owned and operated by Katalina Klein, who has been in the real estate industry for over 19 years. Katalina founded Kubed Living to create functional, attractive, and affordable spaces by repurposing shipping containers and turning them into modern living and working environments.

Kubed Living is a design-builder that consults with customers throughout the country, acting as a designer, project manager, and consultant throughout the home building process. Kubed Living focuses on custom builds, but also offers pre-built models like K240.

Katalina, or one of her representatives, will personally guide customers through the process. Kubed Living helps with:

  • Floor plans
  • Project management
  • Navigating the local permitting process
  • Identifying and collaborating with local fabricators and engineers
  • Finding affordable and sustainable materials
  • Working with local contractors who are familiar with shipping container homes

What separates Kubed Living from other design build firms is their boutique experience. The Kubed Living team provides a consultative approach to help customers navigate different home building processes across the United States, from permitting to material selection. 

"At Kubed Living, we take pride in our comprehensive approach to project management. From inception to completion, we are deeply involved in every aspect of the project. We lead the charge through the engineering process, create construction documents, facilitate the permitting process, and collaborate closely with fabricators and general contractors. During fabrication, we are hands-on in addressing challenges, answering inquiries, and refining construction methods in collaboration with engineers. Additionally, we actively engage with clients in selecting finishes and ensure that they align with the project's vision" - Katalina Klein

Kubed Living offers the following pre-designed models:

The models shown on Rent a Backyard are pre-designed models, but these are not “cookie-cutter” models. Each home can be personalized with unique interiors, windows, door styles, flooring, accessories, appliances, lighting, and siding. Additional shipping container modules can be added to increase the size of your home or office space. 

Please note that pricing will vary by market. Factors that impact pricing can include labor, fabricator and manufacturing costs, land characteristics, and state or local regulations.
