TWIN - CO-HOUSING

The mechanical structure of the home, the electrical wiring, plumbing, heating and cooling, etc would run through a crawl space under the house before going up. This makes it easier to add or remove panels since there would be less worry about damaging a pipe and flooding the home or accidentally cutting into some wiring and electrocuting someone. It also makes those systems easier to access because they are all right under the home instead of completely buried in the walls.

The initial core is a tiny home design, and it is made using the prefabricated panels because it would be easier to remove panels as needed when you wish to add a new room. In the same way that a lot of traditional New Mexican homes started as one small unit that grew as the family that lived there grew, the modular core has the ability to grow as well.

Panel Materials

• Fire Resistant Roofing | Wall Siding

• Plywood | Treated Plywood

This material could change depending on need

• Membrane

This is for sealing the panel

• Insulating Foam

Again, this material could be changed depending on need. There are many types of fire resistant insulation currently that could potentially work in a panel.

• Plywood | Treated Plywood

• Interior Siding | Plaster | Gypsum Board | Flooring
