Technology Benefits. Our modular prefabricated technology for high-rise projects offers the following benefits:
Our unique design with organic appeal is composed of a quadruple helix configuration and the units come with two-storey terraces. The modular repeatable geometry design is suitable for mass manufacturing and economies of scale

Design Features.
The design makes extensive use of garden architecture. A central atrium extends to its peak. Housing units surround cores which include atriums, elevators, fire escapes and additional MEP. Each alternate unit on a given level features a two-storey semi-outdoor terrace or indoor-outdoor space
The design incorporates passive and active solar and wind energy features
The earth-bermed flanged base of the design will be comprised off commercial space with the upper floors being largely residential
Typical Studio Unit Layout with two-storey semo-outdoor terrace:
Unit floor plans are expandable horizontally to form larger 1-Bedroom, 2-Bedroom, and 3-Bedroom units with multi-floor penthouse units at the tapered apex
Each segment of the proposed design includes a MEP chase / shaft which will line up vertically across floors regardless of the phase the outer ring module is in
“Double DNA molecule” (Quadruple Helix) configuration is an organic form that emulates nature and has universal aesthetic appeal. The outer ring of modules at any level is rotated in plan by 22.5 degrees from the level below forming multiple two-storey terraces at each level
Transport from factory by road or rail to job site: 4-6 Modules per Truck (65’ x 16’ x 9.5') – The geometry of the inner and outer rings of trapezoidal units are stackable horizontally on a truck bed
Also the dimensions of each module are relatively small and easier to haul into place using a construction crane. Individual residential units will be comprised of multiple interconnected modules, which will in turn be connected to a central core
The quadruple helix form is like two intertwined DNA molecules transferring balanced forces onto the central core at each level thereby providing a highly stable structural system that can better withstand seismic forces and wind loads
The external skin of the building will be clad with a prefabricated curtain wall system that will incorporate sustainable features
Modules will be constructed using cold-formed light gauge steel framing technology that is durable, light and termite and weather / rot resistant. The steel modules will be supported by square hollow posts with high buckling resistance and edge beams with lateral cross-bracing to withstand the rigors of transportation and hoisting into position at the construction site
The cost of excess material used in the fabrication of these modules in a factory will be more than offset by the the reduction in waste, assembly line efficiencies and other factors
Modular Schemas with multiple cores will not only permit larger building footprints, but will also allow the completion of sections of the building before others for faster lease up of units during construction. The repeating geometry of these schemas are conducive to mass manufacture and scale economies
All modules will be fabricated in a controlled factory environment with quality assurance and controls and where it is possible to fast-track multiple trades, leverage assembly line efficiencies, as well as work in all weather conditions
The unique modular form with four intertwined spirals can act like four coiled springs facilitating the design of an earthquake resistant structural system capable of withstanding significant seismic forces
Wind loads are a significant factor in high-rise construction and the streamlined and aerodynamic forms of these design schemas will all better withstand wind loads at higher levels
The slender spire-like forms will offer panoramic vistas in all directions, not block desirable views, or cast large undesirable shadows
We will utilize energy efficient and waste management features:
Other sustainable features include:
Cross-Section showing passive and active solar and wind energy features:
Buildings take too long to build at a construction site, causing traffic congestion for extended periods of time. On-site construction requires hazardous work and construction activities are affected by adverse weather conditions and seasons. Excess material is wasted and not recycled which makes it expensive and less sutainable to build quality high-density buildings at a construction site. Not only that, it is not efficient to construct or install Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing (MEP) systems for sustainable buildings at a construction site
That's why we offer a low cost and green alternative that does not compromise quality. We provide quality, aesthetically pleasing buildings at lower upfront costs as well as lower life-cycle costs by manufacturing environmentally and structurally sound prefabricated building modules in a controlled factory environment with superior precision and controls
These modules can then be erected on-site like LEGO blocks in roughly half the time it takes to construct a building using conventional techniques. This is accomplished by fast-tracking the construction of the base on-site and the fabrication of modules in a manufacturing facility
When we compare conventional construction with modular construction, there are definitely significant reductions in hard / construction costs, soft costs and financing costs. Here are the details:
Note: These are proforma estimates based on large economies of scale and several other assumptions
Fast to Construct - Faster to Erect: Site work and construction of prefabricated modules can proceed in parallel which saves time and reduces hazardous high-rise work at significantly higher costs.
Other advantages of factory built modules are as follows:
Speed of production. The modules for a 50,000 square foot building can be done in 8 – 10 weeks
Cost Savings without Compromising Quality
Eliminating Site Waste
Fast Turnover of Turnkey Projects
We have achieved susbtantial traction and made a lot of headway into streamlining our system and processes and completing phase I of our project. Here's what we have accomplished so far:
