Description:
MOVEABLE RESIDENTIAL FACILITY AND METHOD TO CONSTRUCT IT

The faster tempo of life requires and encourages people to consider the manufacture of simpler residential facilities, which would be mostly manufactured in production plants. Such facilities that are conceptualised in terms of construction could be easily transported to the location of installation and would not be technically demanding for installation or assembly.

The present invention is therefore concerned with prefabricated residential facilities, which can be transported to a desired location with transportation means that are publically available and which do not require any special permits for transportation considering the existing infrastructure.

Hereinafter, it will be referred to the folding, moveable residential facility simply as facility. A facility may be composed from a utility or base part, which is shaped as a box and, considering the external appearance, fully assembled. The second part of the facility is a service part, which may generally be of greater dimensions than the utility part of the facility, and which is completely unassembled. Individual components of the service part that comprise its walls, ceiling, and floor are manufactured and stacked in the empty space of the utility part of the facility; such folded facility is thus prepared for logistics. The folded residential facility is constructed in a way that it can be transported using all standard means of transportation, including the standard 40-foot container or helicopter transport (for special requirements) from the manufacturer to the location of installation. Unified individual components may be used and the selection of wall materials may be such that they are of identical technical and quality characteristics, which fulfil all technical norms and standards for such facilities.

Established and patented techniques in the field of the present invention and general techniques apparent in according products on the market can generally be categorised in three categories, specifically:

(a) transportable mobile homes (campervans and holiday houses)

(b) transportable container mobile homes

(c) folding closets, saunas, etc. The mobile homes of group (a) can in principle not be folded. An exception being folding car trailers that can be folded from the top down, thereby providing easier transport and reduced air resistance. A known technology of group (a) relates to mobile homes with folding awnings, side tents, which in this case represent only a so-called emergency residential space that does not provide sufficient comfort. Certain patents propose various technical solutions for expanding the residential space. This group includes patents US 5,490, 704 and US 6,923,489, whereas patents US 4,215,894 and US 4,779,916 propose a conversion of trucks into residential spaces. The patents DE 33 03 543 and US 6,325,447 propose an expansion of residential space on motorhomes.

Transportable container mobile homes of group (b) generally have an option of expanding or reducing dimensions of a service part. This is e.g. established in DE 199 24 466, which proposes an increase of the residential space by adding one or more mobile homes in a specific serial link. Similar to this idea is SI 22589, which also proposes an increase of the residential space by modularly adding one or more identical residential components to upgrade a mobile residential unit.

Facilities of group (c) generally have smaller dimensions, are located in enclosed spaces as additional elements for specific functions, and are not directly exposed to weather conditions or the environment, and therefore do not need to meet the standards prescribed for residential facilities, except the standards prescribed for construction of internal elements. EP 1 481 137 B l proposes a dynamic system of construction with individual modules that actually represent entire sides or walls of the facility, which is assembled by special profiles, thereby employing modular construction to build a residential facility. In the following presentation we will focus on the construction of residential facilities intended for longer duration of accommodation or residence. This is also pursued by the SI 20282 A, which proposes a modular construction of residential houses from individual assemblies of facilities, manufactured on a wooden basis. During the design phase of all individual components of the facility, the goal is set that the facility is thermodynamic, adiabatic to the greatest degree possible (energy-saving), simple in terms of construction, light and low-cast, and in compliance with all regulations prescribed by law for similar mobile constructions in all regions of the world or in all countries with legislation in this field. The basic goal is to allow transportation of the facility from the factory to the desired location with established, normal transport means, without additional permits or additional transportation costs. The facility according to the present invention is composed from a utility (base) part and a service part. All required elements of the service part of the facility are stacked in the utility part of the facility as described below.

A moveable residential facility and a method for construction a moveable residential facility according to the present invention are defined in the independent claims.

In particular, a moveable residential facility may comprise a utility part that is prefabricated before assembling of the moveable residential facility and a service part that is adjacent to the utility part and constructed from construction components during assembling of the moveable residential facility. The construction components are configured to be stacked inside the utility part.

Stated differently, the moveable residential facility is constructed from two separate parts: a utility part and a service part. While the utility part is completely manufactured, e.g. in a factory, before assembling the moveable residential facility, the service part will only be constructed on site. This means that the utility part is simply placed on the location on which the moveable residential facility is to be constructed. Then, the service part is constructed adjacent, i.e. next to, the utility part from construction components. The service part forms an extension of the utility part to complete the moveable residential facility.

In order to guarantee easy shipment of the moveable residential facility, which is independent from further logistics or additional transports, all construction components that are necessary to build the service part are stacked, i.e. stored, within the utility part during transport. The utility part forms so to speak the kit from which the complete residential facility can be constructed. Hence, transportation and construction of the moveable residential facility is extremely easy and convenient, as no additional materials need to be provided.

Here, the service part may have a larger size than the utility part. Naturally, in order to allow easy transportation the utility part must not be too large. Hence, in order to provide a sufficiently large residential facility, the service part is designed to be larger in size than the utility part. The maximum size of the service part is then set by the capability to store and/ or stack all construction components inside the utility part. The utility part may be configured to be placed into a standard container of 40 foot length, when the construction components are stacked inside the utility part. This allows easy transportability with standard means on ship or truck.

The construction components may comprise at least the side walls of the service part, the roof of the service part, the floor of the service part, and any small inventory used to construct the service part from its walls, roof, and floor adjacent to the utility part. In order to be able to stack all wall, roof, and floor parts of the service part inside the utility part, walls, roof, and floor of the service part are constructed from modular components that can be stacked together in a space saving manner.

The moveable residential facility may weigh less than 6000 kg, when the construction components are stacked inside the utility part. This allows easy transportability.

The utility part may comprise three side walls, a floor, and a roof and a wall separating the utility part from the service part in the assembled moveable residential facility may be configured to be used to close the utility part, when the construction components are stacked inside the utility part. Here, the wall may be made from glass elements. In order to be able to store all construction components of the service part inside the utility part, the utility part should not be closed totally. However, in order to save construction time at the site of the moveable residential facility, the utility part should be as complete as possible. Moreover, this also helps packing the construction components safely inside the utility part. By using a separating wall between the utility part and the service part of the completely constructed moveable residential facility as cover for the fully stacked utility part, additional packing material can be saved.

Installations comprising at least electricity, water, heating and/ or sewage for the moveable residential facility are prefabricated in the utility part. This saves time during construction of the residential facility.

The moveable residential facility may be configured to be supplied with energy either via a power grid or via an energy generating module. This allows constructing the residential facility either in regions having access to infrastructure or as fully independent units.

The utility part may comprise all sanitary rooms and kitchen rooms of the moveable residential facility. Hence, no water or sewage means need to be present in the service part, which allows easy construction of the service part. Further, as the utility part is prefabricated, this simplifies the construction of the whole moveable residential facility. The utility part may comprise concrete inserts on which the utility part is installed. Thus, the utility part can be simply placed on a site for constructing the moveable residential facility without further preparations on the utility part.

The service part may be constructed on at least four levelling feet. This allows to construct the service part also at locations that are not totally levelled.

The moveable residential facility may be configured to be combined with further moveable residential facilities according to one of the preceding claims to form a larger residential facility. This allows overcoming size restrictions present for a single moveable residential facility, as several facilities may be combined to form a more complex building. As every part of this complex building is nevertheless delivered as a utility part containing all components of the respective service part, also the components of complex buildings can be easily transported. Hence, easy construction of complex buildings is possible.

A method for constructing a moveable residential facility as described above may comprise placing the utility part into which the construction components are stacked to a location for constructing the moveable residential facility, extracting the construction components from the utility part, and constructing the service part adjacent to the utility part by using the construction components. As indicated above this has the advantage that moveable residential facilities can be easily transported and constructed.

The location for constructing the moveable residential facility may be levelled before placing of the utility part ( 1 ) on this location. By preparing the location for constructing the residential facility assembling the facility is simplified.

The entire folded facility can be placed into a standard 40-foot container, whereby a wooden transport construction is placed under the utility /base part, thus reducing the friction coefficient between the container and facility, and the entire facility, with a mass of up to 6,000 kg can be pushed into the container with a forklift and secured with straps. When unloading, the facility is removed from the container, and the wooden transport construction can be used as fuel for heating. A folded facility can be transported across the globe with all known transportation means, without restrictions on temperature, time, etc. , and with normal mechanical loads, etc.

The construction of the facility, with folded assemblies and loading gauge congruent with the dimensions of a 40-foot container, can be transported with other transportation means without a container. It is possible to transport the facility using a helicopter, using attachment connections on the top construction connecting profiles of the utility/base part.

7.4 external cladding from galvanised sheet metal for the floor of the facility To ensure better understanding for the key terms used in this patent application, they will be explained in detail in terms of their intended use and meaning:

Utility or base part of the facility: This represents the fixed part of the facility, assembled in the workshop - only the outer walls, the floor, and the roof. In terms of usage, this is the part of the facility that represents sanitary and kitchen facilities.

Service part of the facility: This represents the residential space and, in terms of utilisation value, a multifunctional facility designed and intended for various activities - for residential, office, tourist, educational, hospitality, or commercial purposes, as well as special purposes and the needs of humanitarian services, police, army, health care, etc. Profile: This represents the steel pipe, usually a square cold-formed steel with a profile thickness between 2 and 4 mm or more, which defines the construction static calculation according to the size of the facility.

Panels: These form the fagade cladding, which is designed to protect the base steel frame from external influences with panel boards of various thickness, with built-in insulation, purchased from external manufacturers.

Floor: The bottom part of the facility, a walking plate, composed of the external base from galvanised sheet metal, insulation material with vapour-permeable foil, steel load-bearing sheet metal, and composite concrete high-pressure plate, on which any flooring can be installed.

Utility part ceiling: This ceiling is composed of external cladding in the form of plastic foils (sika foil) and an internal lining made from galvanised steel sheet metal, with insulation filing in between in the form of a panel board composed from two profiled double-sided galvanised steel sheet metal, with inflammable mineral wool glued in between; the second option is constructed with a selected polyurethane filling with a thickness of 150 mm or more. Service part ceiling: This ceiling is manufactured from external galvanised sheet metal cladding, which is protected against corrosion, and low-profile panel board with insulation filing. The roof is assembled in the form of a panel board composed from two profiled double-sided galvanised steel sheet metal, with inflammable mineral wool glued in between; the second option is constructed with a selected polyurethane filling with a thickness of 200 mm or more.

Glass: Glass surfaces of the front wall of the service part form an aluminium frame for the door and a fixed glass surface; a double or triple-layer insulated glass is installed into these frames.

Levelling foot: A mechanism on the concrete base with a screw for levelling the service area of the facility.

Figure 1 illustrates a 3D view of the external construction of the residential facility, which is composed of at least two box-shaped objects - one part represents the utility part of the facility 1 , which is assembled with all external cladding - panels in a production hall. The second part, which is called a service part of the facility, is also manufactured from component parts in a workshop, but is assembled within the empty space of the utility part 1 , as illustrated in Figure 12. In principal, the utility part 1 is conceptualised as a steel frame, onto which wall panels are attached with screws, with a plastic roof with protective insulation placed on top.

The steel frame of the utility section 1 , shown on Figure 2, is composed of at least four steel cold-formed vertical profiles 1.1 , 1.1.2, 1.1.3, and 1.1.4, which are welded or screwed together at the bottom onto perpendicular junctions on horizontal side 1.3 and lateral 1.2 cold-formed constructed steel profiles of the same dimensions, from 100 by 100 mm or more, and with a minimal thickness of 2 mm or more. All vertical and horizontal profiles are filled with a polyurethane filling 1.2.1 or 1.3.1 shown on Figure 3, or filling 1.1 1 shown on Figure 4. The steel frame of the utility part 1 is treated on the left side wall 1.7 and the right side wall 1.9, Figure 9, with panels 1.4, Figure 10, which transitions to the right wall of the service part of the facility, jointly forming the right wall 13, Figure 12, of the facility. Insulation panels 1.5, shown on Figures 2 and 10, are installed or screwed on the back side of the utility section, with at least two windows 1.5.1 , Figure 10, conceptualised in terms of construction. Couplings of horizontal 1.2 and 1.3 and vertical 1.1 , 1.1.2, 1.1.3, and 1.1.4 profiles are implemented with panel corners 1. 12, Figure 4, which are attached with self- tightening screws 1. 13, Figure 4. Figure 2, which represents a 3D view of the utility/base part of the facility, placed on concrete inserts 1.8, Figures 2 and 5, which are placed on all four corners of the frame of the utility part of the facility 1 , at the minimum. It is recommended that footing 5, Figure 2, is implemented on point foundations, whereby a point foundation is poured per one meter of length of side profiles of beam 1.3, Figure 2. The front connecting wall 1.6, Figure 2, detailed in Figure 1 1 , is conceptualised as a connecting wall and actually represents the back wall of the service part 2, Figures 1 , 2, and 1 1 , but is extended for the width of the external cladding of the service part 2.9, with window 2.9.1 , Figure 1 1.

On this wall, Figure 1 1 , there are as many vertical supports 1.1.3, 1.1.4, and 1.1.5 as need to be installed as internal partition walls in the utility 1 or service part of the facility. The entire facility is conceptualised according to customer's wishes, who designs his own internal space arrangement of the service part of the facility 2. The manufacturer's version of the utility part of the facility 1 , in accordance with the implementation example on Figure 1 1 , presents the utility part 1 with two partitions, composed of steel beams 1.3 and panel board partition 1.6. 1 on the bottom part of the wall and 1.6.2 on the upper part of the wall. Both partition boards 1.6.1 and 1.6.2 on the left and right end are restricted by the steel supports 1.1.3 and 1.14, which are also the connecting supports for door 1.6.3.

There is an open space 1.6 without a door between the steel beams 1.1.5, which has direct access to the utility part of the facility and is as such conceptualised as a kitchen area in the implementation example of the residential facility. The height differential between the service part and the utility part is compensated by at least three interconnected frames, which are composed in the top line of the utility part 1 by its load-bearing horizontal beam 1.3, Figure 1 1 , and with the top horizontal beam 1.3.2 and vertical steel beams 1. 1 and 1.1 .2 with partitions 1.6.2 and 2.9 limit the entire visible part of the back wall of the service part of the facility. The extruding left and right part of the service part of the last wall have been fitted with panel boards 2.9 along the entire length, which have built-in windows 2.9.1. The top differential of the middle part or the centre frame is covered from the external side with a panel board 1.6.2. Here, it should be noted that the utility part of the facility 1 has all installations built in: electricity, water, heating, sewers; these are not visible in the figures, but are included in the facility and are as such adjusted to customers' needs and wishes. All connections of the utility part 1 of the facility, Figure 3, view A, to the corner connection of horizontal and vertical load-bearing beams are implemented by welding in the production unit, and thus represent a strength and load-bearing part of the facility, on which horizontal beams 2.1 and 2.2 of the service part are then fixed by screws. Figures 3 and 4 illustrate in detail this system of connection or attaching individual beams; however, Figure 3 illustrates the construction conceptualisation of installation of floor construction. Floor 7, Figures 1 , 2, 3, 4, and 5, of the entire facility is conceptualised in terms of construction to screw or weld the external cladding made from galvanised sheet metal 7.4, Figures 1 , 3, and 4, to the bottom sides of the horizontal load-bearing frames, which are composed from beams 1.2 and 1 .3 on the utility part of the facility and beams 2. 1 and 2.2, as well as perpendicularly attached horizontal beams 2.5, on the service part of the facility. The insulation board or filling 7.1 with a vapour-permeable foil, Figures 3 and 4, is then placed on top, and everything is covered with a steel high-bond load-bearing sheet metal, on which composite high-pressure concrete slabs 7.3 are then installed. As finishing, any flooring can be installed - wood flooring, parquet, ceramics, or polyvinyl materials.

Figure 4 illustrates the connection used for the attachment system by screws for the two beams 1. 1 and 1.2 using the panel corner 1. 12 and self-tightening screws 1.13, as well as the composition of the floor construction, which was already described in Figure 3; however, the key presentation of this figure is the placement of internal insulation panels 1.10 and the method of insulating the interior of the profile pipes 1.1 1 with the polyurethane material or foam. This is also shown for horizontal profile pipes 1.3 on Figure 3. The same technical solution applies to the insulation of all profile pipes on the facility.

Figure 5, side view on the wall of the utility - base part 1 and the service part of the facility shows all the component parts and assemblies that are not visible of previously described figures, as well as present a comprehensive view of the facility. The roof 4.2, Figure 9, of the utility part of the facility 1 is an almost flat horizontal surface, which drops at a minimal angle of 1 to 3 degrees towards the back wall and gutter 1 1. Gutter 1 1 on the utility part of the facility 1 is actually part of the roof 4.2 of the utility part 1. The entire roof 4.2 is slanted towards the back part, which is the lowest point and has drains on the two sides. Opposite this side, the roof 4.1 , Figures 1 , 5 , and 9, of the service part of the facility drops towards the roof of the utility part 4.2 at a steeper angle , from 3% to 6% , and is raised by the height of a panel board 1.62. , shown on Figure 1 1. On the lower connecting side with the utility part of the roof 4.2, water drainage is implemented with elements that can be adjusted in height, called levelling feet 6, which will be described in detail in Figure 6. The presented levelling foot 6, Figure 6, view B, presents a detailed view of the construction implementation of these levelling feet 6, which are used as part of the foundation of the service part and for levelling the facility as a whole. The step or terrace 2.4, Figure 5 is an independent element intended as an antechamber - terrace by the entrance into the front part of the facility, or as an element for one or more steps 2.4, which allow access to the front wall of the facility 3.2 and the door on the facility 3. 1 , Figure 8. The levelling foot 6, Figure 6, is conceptualised as an element for regulating - the foot screw 6.1 , screwed into the lower horizontal steel frames 2.1 , 2.2. , and 2.5 , which as reinforced with nut plates 2.2. 1 , which are welded to the aforementioned steel frames 2.1 , 2.2, and 2.5. The bottom part of the foot screw 6.1 is screwed into the load-bearing construction of the levelling foot 6.2, which is also reinforced with a nut 6.2.1 in the connecting, nut part. A side hole 6.1.1 is constructed in the middle of the foot screw 6. 1 , which is intended for tightening or loosening the levelling screw by inserting a round steel material through this hole 6.1.1 and tightening or loosening the levelling screw 6.1 , thereby adjusting the level of the service part of the facility. The load-bearing construction of the levelling foot is designed in a semi-circular shape rotated by 90 degrees, which has a rectangular protrusion on its bottom side (free ends) as a space for the concrete insert 6.3 as a weight and foundation element.

The side walls 2, Figure 7, represent the longitudinal connection of individual insulation panels 2.1 onto the load-bearing construction of side walls of the service part of the facility 1. The insulation panels 2.1 of side walls on both parts of the facility are connected and attached in a watertight manner onto individual load-bearing frames; the implementation example shows a frame composed of vertical beams 1.1 with internal insulation 1.1 and 2.3 with internal insulation 2.6 and horizontal beams 2. 1 and 2.2 and top beams 2.5, shown in more detail in Figure 5. The walls 2 of the service part end on the front and back internal side as windbreaks, with load-bearing sub-constructions 2.8 and 2.8.1 attached to their internal walls, onto which decorative bases 2.7 and 2.7.1 or panels as final finish of the fagade and these windbreak surfaces are attached by screws.

The front glass wall 3 of the service part, Figure 8, represents a vertical view or a bird's-eye view of the longitudinal connection of glass door 3.1 and glass walls 3.2 on the front wall of the service part of the facility 3. The glass surfaces of the front wall 3 of the service part form an aluminium frame for door 3.1 and a fixed glass surface 3.2, which contains double or triple-layered insulated glass. The glass door 3.1 is installed using a sliding mechanism 3.4, which uses a guiderail profile 3.5. The comprehensive attachment mechanism of the guiderail 3.5 is assembled on the top surface of the horizontal steel beam 2.3. Figure 9 illustrates the vertical view of the facility roof; specifically, the roof with the ceiling of the utility part 4.2 is composed from the external cladding in the form of plastic foils (sika foil) and the internal lining from galvanised steel sheet metal, with insulation filing in the form of panel board between, made from two profiled double-side galvanised steel sheet metal plates, with a non-flammable mineral wool glued in between; the second option is constructed with a polyurethane filling 150 mm or more of choice. The roof with the ceiling of the service part 4.1 is manufactured from external cladding made from galvanised sheet metal protected against corrosion and a low-profile panel board with insulation filling. Roof 4.1 is assembled in the form of a panel board, composed from two profiled double-side galvanised steel sheet metal plates, with a nonflammable mineral wool glued in between; the second option is constructed with a polyurethane filling 200 mm or more of choice. Figure 10 illustrates a side view of the back wall of the utility part of the facility and the visible part of the back wall of the service part of the facility. The key detail of this figure is that it illustrates the windows 1.5.1 shown on the back wall of the utility part 1 and the system of installation for the gutter 1 1 onto the facility. Here, the waviness or low profile of the steel sheet metal 4. 1 , glued to the core of the panel made from mineral wool should be noted, which provides excellent thermal insulation of the panels and a high resistance to fire. All layers compose a complex panel with a thickness of 200 mm or more, providing the necessary tightness and insulation. Optionally, polyurethane filling of the same dimensions can be used.

Figure 1 1 , illustrating the side view of the internal, passable partition between the utility and service part of the facility, has already been described in terms of the conception; however, in this figure the assembly and transportation concept represents a unique technical solution. This assembly conception is designed in such a way that the entire wall with external cladding and internal lining 2.9, Figure 1 1 , is attached in the workshop to the entire front construction of the utility part of the facility 1 , Figure 1 , 2, 5, and 12. For logistics purposes, the front glass wall 3, Figure 12, of the service part of the facility is also attached to this wall, and then loaded onto a 40-foot container and transported to the location of construction.

The following technical solution is also possible and can be implemented in terms of construction: all assemblies and components of the facility are stacked in the utility part of the facility 1 in special container spacer brackets 10, Figure 12, which also hold all panel insulation boards 2.1 and 7.1 , with all roof panels of the facility 4.1 stacked in container spacer brackets 12; all this is shown of Figure 12. The pipe material is stacked in the U-profile 9, with small inventory, such as screws, gaskets, etc. , transported in crates 8, Figure 12. Load-bearing threaded nuts 1. 14 are attached on the top side of all four vertical profiles 1. 1 , 1.1.2, 1. 1.3, and 1. 1.4, which are attached to the load-bearing container screws 14, Figure 12, for transport of the utility part of the facility 1 , Figures 1 , 2, 5, and 12.

For needs of an air transport, meaning transport with a car lift or by helicopter, load-bearing container screws 14, designed in terms of construction and quality to withstand these forces and dimensions, are attached to the threaded nuts 1.14. The load-bearing container screw 14, shown in Figure 12, are made from light drawn steel rod of construction steel with a diameter of 20 to 40 mm, with a limit of plasticity of at least 500 N/mm2. The load-bearing container screws 14 are made using a procedure of cold forming into the shape of a bent triple spiral and can be attached by screwing around the upper corners of the utility - base part 1 , whereby one load-bearing container screw holds all three load-bearing steel profiles of one upper corner of the utility part 1 at once with at least one hook. For helicopter transportation, where these load-bearing container screws 14 are used, first a hole, ø = 90 to 1 10 mm must be drilled, on all four upper corners of the utility part, left and right, through the external panels; a thread 1.14 is then cut into these panels, which represents the load-bearing nut for attaching the load-bearing container screws 14. In this case, when the service part of the facility 1 is intentionally used as a container, the front or right side of the service part of the facility 13, Figure 12, is fully closed with panel boards, which fill the openings for door and the kitchen. The utility - base part is made from construction steel - rolled profiles. The walls, floor, and ceiling are covered, packed with "sandwich panels", which are made from external and internal metal lining and the middle insulation filling. The panel connections are designed in such a way to prevent thermal bridges by using a cross connection of the insulation layer, thereby closing in the insulation from all sides. The screw connection of the panel to the load-bearing construction is implemented only with thread-forming or self- tightening screws, which penetrate the sandwich of the panel and cut into the steel construction.

The entire infrastructure (water, electricity, water drainage, landline, and other connections) of the utility - base part is installed in the factory, whereby the last wall is equipped with the full infrastructure in the middle of the panels. All infrastructure connections (input and output) are installed on the external back wall of the utility part, so that the connection to the land plot infrastructure is as simple and easy as possible. Connecting the infrastructure installed on the utility/base part of the external back wall has not been illustrated in figures, since every facility is adapted to customer's wishes and the desired connections, which prevents a basic standard placement for these connections.

One possible solution is also the implementation of so-called "self-sufficient facility", which uses rainwater for sanitary water, collected in reservoir outside the facility and converted to sanitary water in the energy module, by having the water flow through a filter into a pressure vessel, which pumps the cleaned water under a certain pressure to the utility/base part, where it is available to the user.

The standard facility is available in different sizes in designs, from 40 m2 to 72 m2, and can also be combines into more complex designs, in accordance with customers' needs and wishes. It is also possible to construct different designs intended for various activities, from residential, office, tourist, and educational to office, hospitality, or commercial purposes, as well as special purposes and the needs of humanitarian services, police, army, and health care.

The facility can be designed as a multi-functional building and uses a system of modular construction, whereby an individual module can be switched if so desired, and the facility can be upgraded during its use. Furthermore, facilities can also be joined into more complex designs and connected in sequence or in parallel.

The basic design of the facility is that the folded facility has limited dimensions and mass, which is a precondition for simple transport in the 40-foot container, both on the road and across the sea. On-site assembly is simple. First, the facility is pulled from the container and placed on the planned location. The utility part is fixed, then the service part is assembled with the required panels and finish. In the last phase, the facility is connected to required infrastructure. The facility can be upgraded with independent infrastructure units, for electricity and water and waste treatment, or the community infrastructure can be replaced with an additional energy module, thereby making the facility energy self-sufficient.

The standard facility is composed of the fixed back utility/ base part and the front assembly part, called service part. The back utility /base part is manufactured and assembled in the production unit, whereas the front service part is manufactured in the production unit and assembled on location intended for the facility. The facility may be available in several versions, but also custom-made facilities may be provided, whereby individual dimensions of the service part of the facility are adjusted. The standard modules can be customised for the end user; specifically floor panels, side walls, ceiling panels, front glass, and decorative lining.

The side walls of both parts of the facility and the back wall of the utility part of the facility are covered by panels attached to the horizontal steel beams with screws. Groves for all screws are systematically prepared in production. They panels are assembled using a system of hidden connections, thereby providing increased lifespan of connecting elements. The thickness of the panel boards can vary considering the demands of the weather conditions and customers' wishes. All connections are systematically sealed using prepared sealing tape. The panels can be replaced or changed at any time. The life span of the facility depends on the life span of the panels. This is assessed to be fifty years, but the panels can be quickly replaced at any time. Thermal insulation of the facility can be increased when changing the panels. In the future, panels will be able to be replaced by panels that contain safer and higher quality insulation solutions. The dimensions of the facility can also be increased.

The glass frames are made from aluminium and glass. There are multiple options for frames and opening available, considering the needs and weather conditions. There are also various options of glass: double or triple-layer glass. The metal construction in the interior is used as an additional load-bearing element, which allows thinner glass frames and at the same time relatively large glass surfaces.

The fagade - the exterior surface of the panel - completely covers the load-bearing construction, thereby protecting it against weather conditions.

The last phase of assembly is water drainage and decorative sheet metal, which are included, prepared for easy assembly, and for the purposes of transport stacked in the utility part.

The decorative elements, such as the wooden frame lining, shades, and decorative battens can be selected as desired to personalise the facility.

The basic facility, where the insulating panels do not exceed a thickness of up to 1 ,000 mm, can be stacked into a 40-foot HIGH CUBE container. In the event of thicker panels, an additional 20-foot container is required. The solution with the containers is implemented in order to send the facility using an established logistics system across the world, thereby reducing the transport and logistics costs. The weight of the facility without the container is ca. 6,000 kg. The energy efficiency of the facility depends on the requirements defined upon the conclusion of contract with the customer, and can be adapted for every customer and climate.

It is also possible to use insulation panel elements of thickness from 80 mm up to 300 mm. According to the calculations, the limit at which the facility achieves the passive standard of the construction is 220 mm. Due to a unique design, there are no systemic defects or thermal bridges on the facility.

The entire steel construction is sanded using the Sa 2.5 quality and treated with epoxy primer with a thickness of 30 to 40 micrometres and a finish vinyl-acrylic coating with a thickness of 60 to 70 micrometres. It is also possible to paint the frame with a zinc primer. The standard final colour is black (RAL 9005 MATT), but individual modules can be treated in accordance with customers' wishes, considering the thickness of the insulation, final finish, and the technical, physical, and chemical characteristics. The assembly of the facility is simple. Preparation includes only hardening work at the location, with construction of point foundation for the placement of the utility part of the facility. From the economical viewpoint, the proposed production of facilities can be standardised to manufacture mass produced low- cost products of high quality, which are suitable for any part of the globe. The standard facility is designed in such a way that the basic frame is completely protected from external influences with panel boards and glass parts. The utility part is manufactured in full in the production unit. The service part is assembled on the planned location in accordance with enclosed instructions. A folding, moveable residential facility is designed in terms of construction and implementation to be composed of two basic modules, the utility or base module 1 , which is box-shaped and fully assembled in a workshop, whereas the second part, the service part, which generally has greater dimensions than the utility part of the facility, is unassembled and for which individual components are manufactured that comprise its walls: lateral walls 2, front glass wall 3, roof 4, and flooring 7 for both parts; these components are placed or stacked for transport in the empty space of the utility part of the facility; unassembled, the facility is thus ready to be handed over to logistics transport with all standard means of transportation, including the standard 40-foot container or helicopter transport by special request from the manufacturer to the location of installation.
