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-modified
1 . 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. 
     
     
         13 . The prefabricated modular habitat structure of  claim 10 , wherein the interior cavities are configured to receive plumbing pipes. 
     
     
         14 . The prefabricated modular habitat structure of  claim 10 , wherein the pipes carry water. 
     
     
         15 . The prefabricated modular habitat structure of  claim 10 , wherein the pipes carry gas.
