Phoenix-based Steel + Spark — which constructs off-grid backyard casitas and homeless shelters out of shipping containers — is a finalist for an Innovation Award at South by Southwest (SXSW).

Why it matters: SXSW, taking place March 8-16 in Austin, showcases forward-thinking ideas by creative minds across industries, and Steel+Spark is the only Arizona finalist.

Zoom in: The company has two main offerings constructed from shipping containers:

  • Sparkboxes, which range from 160 to 363 square feet of livable space, can include a bathroom with an incinerator toilet that burns waste.
  • X-Wings are made of four containers in an “X” configuration. Each container has multiple individual sleeping compartments.
