History

[edit]

Box was founded in November 2011 by entrepreneur Dan Heyworth, architect Tim Dorrington, builder Nat Jakich and surveyor Nat Holloway, as a platform of making architecturally designed homes for general public.[3][2]

The company works on the building model with a post-and-beam exoskeleton with off-site construction and prefabrication, the residential work is based on mid-century modern movement.[4][1]

A Box home in Hillsborough, Auckland featured on the TV show Grand Designs NZ in 2015.[5][6]
