About BOXCAR Container Homes
BOXCAR Container Homes was first imagined by designer Rainbow Faith Wieland in 1992, when she was just a young girl in Texas sketching creative living spaces inside shipping containers. Decades later, her vision became reality with the official launch of BOXCAR in 2016 in Tucson, Arizona — making it one of the earliest U.S. businesses to design and build modern, livable container homes.
With over 25 years of experience in sustainable architecture, historical restoration, and interior design, Rainbow has brought BOXCAR to life as more than just a housing solution — it’s a movement toward eco-conscious living, affordability, and style. Each project is a fusion of industrial durability and high-end design, customized to fit the unique personality and lifestyle of every client.
Through her nonprofit Grace Through Faith, Rainbow also uses BOXCAR projects to give back — helping survivors of trauma and domestic violence gain access to safe housing and legal support.
