Modular Housing Units

Main > Housing and construction

---

Modular Housing Units (MHU)- may be based on dimensional post-and-beam construction. Metal connectors may be cast from aluminum if available. If integrated with autonomous food, energy, and water system, these housing units, infinitely modular and scaleable - may be a valuable flexible fabrication opportunity.
