About

Our mission was born after Hurricane María, when our lead designer was working for FEMA as a construction inspector, and realized that the biggest problem with housing in Puerto Rico was the lack of accessibility to proper construction. When the median income in Puerto Rico is approximately $20,000 and the median house costs around $100,000 the math just does not add up. KONTi was born as our team set up to find sustainable and resilient solutions that are also cost effective for the majority of our population. Using shipping containers as base structures we have created housing, schooling, and multi-use facilities that are resilient to adverse climatic conditions, self-sustaining, and quickly deployable.
Our vision is to build back greener! Building using less resources, recycled materials, and generating less waste. Changing the way we build in order to protect our human existence from the devastating effects of climate change.
