About me
Satpal Kaur is a Design Activist and entrepreneur advancing equitable, high-performance housing. She designed NYC's first affordable Passive Houses, achieving 85% energy reduction and changing building policy nationwide.
Guided by the belief that the greenest building is the one that already exists, she founded UnBOXED to transform legacy buildings through 3D-printed recycled polymer panels that form a second skin over existing facades. Designed for a 100% tenant-in-place approach; no scaffolding, no demolition, no displacement, UnBOXED as a plug play integrated component reduces operating costs by up to 60% with a five-year payback, while saving owners up to $1M per building in avoided relocation costs, so all communities can still live in shelter and dignity.
