Modular habitat structure
Abstract
A free standing modular habitat structure is provided. The modular habitat includes a floor, ceiling and walls that comprise a plurality of prefabricated segments that join together to form the floor, ceiling and/or wall. The segments are made of durable and weatherproof outer skin and an insulated core. The insulated core may include raceways for routing wiring and/or plumbing. The insulated core may also include raceways for vertical support structures. Each segment can be solid or include a prefabricated opening such as a door, a window, or a chimney hole. The modular habitat may be a single room or it may be a multi-room habitat with interior walls and equipped with a kitchen, toilet, and/or shower and other amenities. One advantage of clustering multiple habitats together into a single structure is that clustering increases the overall stability of the structure and its ability to withstand harsh weather and high winds.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A prefabricated modular habitat structure comprising:
a series of prefabricated floor segments that join together to define a floor; a series of prefabricated ceiling segments that join together to define a ceiling; and a series of prefabricated exterior wall segments that join together to define at least three walls, wherein at least one exterior wall segment comprises a door.
2 . The prefabricated modular habitat structure of claim 1 further comprising a series of prefabricated interior wall segments that joint together define an interior wall.
3 . The prefabricated modular habitat structure of claim 2 , wherein at least one interior wall segment comprises a door.
4 . The prefabricated modular habitat structure of claim 3 , wherein the interior wall separates the interior of the modular habitat structure into two rooms.
5 . The prefabricated modular habitat structure of claim 4 , wherein one of the two rooms comprises a toilet.
6 . The prefabricated modular habitat structure of claim 5 , wherein the toilet is a composting toilet.
7 . The prefabricated modular habitat structure of claim 4 , wherein one of the two rooms comprises a shower.
8 . The prefabricated modular habitat structure of claim 4 , wherein one of the two rooms comprises a sink.
9 . The prefabricated modular habitat structure of claim 4 , wherein one of the two rooms comprises a cooking surface.
10 . The prefabricated modular habitat structure of claim 1 , wherein two or more of the series of exterior wall segments comprise interior cavities that connect opposing edges of the segment.
11 . The prefabricated modular habitat structure of claim 10 , wherein the interior cavities are vertical and configured to receive a support structure.
12 . The prefabricated modular habitat structure of claim 10 , wherein the interior cavities are configured to receive electrical wires.
