There are many new housing and construction trends coming into the market, each accommodating an easy to identify style and purpose, but there is one design-build team that continues to evade labels, Keen Development Group.
Although the company promotes a range of residential and commercial designs with the implementation of ISO containers, on the premise of a surging trend in construction, it continues to make heads turn and leave people wondering…what is this company building? While the exploding container trend drove the company to heavily market and focus on the intricacies of custom container construction, it was the seemingly endless possibilities that came with that type of construction that drove progress.
While many people think of a container as nothing but a steel box, with size limitations and unconventional design options, Kristin Kaiser, founder of Keen Development Group, saw all the possibilities that opened up by, well…thinking inside the box. “In an explosive surge of creative housing and commercial design options, accommodated by incredibly skilled and innovative professionals, we never take offense to being labeled.” Kaiser says. “However, we are not a tiny home, granny pod, man cave, nor even a container home. We are all of them and none of them. We are Keen Customs.” As confusing as this may seem, it takes only a scan of the multiple concepts and designs this company has taken on to understand that, simply, no project is the same, each use conforming to the specific needs of clients who admire all the newly defined styles of construction but want something just a little bit different.
Kaiser says, “Our team motto is ‘live, work, play the simple way’. That is our only focus that may separate us from other large residential and commercial builders, and what ultimately has us struggling to maintain anonymity from the other labeled styles of efficient or communal living concepts.” Keen Customs serve many purposes, including guest cottages, hunting cabins, backyard hideaways, granny pods, tiny homes, commercial spaces, and even large residential primary homes. “While people call wanting to utilize a container within their construction, with many reasons in mind, we also are able to evaluate the overall project and advise when the use of containers may not be the best option. Through this, we typically end up as the design-build team for the client whether we remain with a container concept or choose traditional methods of construction”.
To truly understand a Keen Custom, a look at what the company has designed, as well as gaining an understanding of design and construction methods through a complementary consult, reveals some not so ‘inside the box’ ideas and options.
