ExoSett design
Design and engineering
An independent structural engineering feasibility study has concluded that the ExoSett concept is structurally feasible in principle. Clearly defined interfaces between the parts of the system allow separation of design and engineering responsibilities, reducing the potential for conflicts during project development.
Use the ExoSett Sketch tool to explore an initial layout for a proposed building. To get the project underway, the first step is to build a team.
ExoSett project roles
Building designer
Turning the client’s goals into a coordinated building specification.
Module designer
Defining accommodation modules for manufacture, transport, installation, occupation and refurbishment.
Frame designer
Specifying the structural accommodation and service frames, including their loads, connections and interfaces.
Safety officer
Coordinating safety assurance, regulatory approvals and supporting evidence throughout the building’s life.
Services designer
Bringing services from the site, through the service frames, to defined interfaces for accommodation modules.
Foundation designer
Designing foundations or defining the interface with a podium or other supporting structure.
Roof designer
Developing the roof specification, including support, weatherproofing, drainage and future building changes.
Site office
Administering the building specification, procurement and project records through delivery, operation and later change.
Design guidance for modular accommodation
ExoSett Reconfigurability
How architecture, a versioned specification and verified physical jigs support interchangeable pods and long-term building evolution.
Accommodation design
Design for occupants, dwelling layouts and accommodation quality within the building’s module and interface constraints.
Choosing a location
Consider access to transport, services and community alongside the site’s suitability for the intended accommodation.
Fire safety
Explore building-wide fire-safety considerations across modules, frames, services and access routes as part of a project-specific strategy.
