Abstract
Modular habitat structure (MHS) which can accommodate one or more live inhabitants is comprised of a rigid pillar which extends linearly away from a base end toward an upper end. A plurality of major system components are disposed at different locations along a length of the rigid pillar. Each of the major system components is comprised of modular segments which individually extend circumferentially around at least a portion of the rigid pillar. The modular configuration of the segments allows user configuration of the MHS by selectively adding or removing one or more segments of each of the major system components.

A modular habitat structure (MHS) for accommodating one or more live inhabitants, comprising:
- a rigid pillar which extends away from a base end toward an upper end;
- a plurality of major system components, each disposed at a different one of a plurality of locations along a length of the rigid pillar;
- each of the major system components comprised of one or more segments which individually extend circumferentially around at least a portion of the rigid pillar;
- each of the segments having a predefined modular configuration, whereby the MHS is user adjustable to a plurality of different configurations by selectively adding or removing one or more segments of the major system components to circumferentially vary an extent of each of the major system components around a periphery of the rigid pillar.
