Open Source Component Building System
Schemata Workshop, in collaboration with a local builder has developed a component based building system. The finished product is a high quality, environmentally conscious home that minimizes construction time and budget. The foundations consist of cast-in-place concrete piers, floor, wall, and structural steel components are assembled off-site in a controlled environment. On-site the building elements are assembled floor by floor, eliminating the need for scaffolding. Decks, sunshades, photovoltaic panels, and water collection systems complete the building system.
