Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a structural unit that includes an inner frame having at least one side, an outer frame having at least three sides, and a connecting element, where both the inner frame and the outer frame are positioned parallel to a first reference plane (the xy-plane), the inner frame is positioned within the outer frame, the connecting element physically connects the inner frame and the outer frame, and the connecting element is positioned parallel to the first reference plane.

A structural unit comprising:
- an inner frame comprising a side;
- an outer frame comprising three sides;
- and
- a connecting element, wherein:
- both the inner frame and the outer frame are positioned parallel to a first reference plane (the xy-plane),
- the inner frame is positioned within the outer frame,
- the connecting element physically connects the inner frame and the outer frame, and
- the connecting element is positioned parallel to the first reference plane.
A structural system comprising:
- a structural unit comprising:
- an inner frame comprising a side;
- an outer frame comprising three sides;
- and
- a connecting element, wherein:
- both the inner frame and the outer frame are positioned parallel to a first reference plane (the xy-plane),
- the inner frame is positioned within the outer frame,
- the connecting element physically connects the inner frame and the outer frame, and
- the connecting element is positioned parallel to the first reference plane.
A housing system comprising:
- a wall unit and,
- a structural unit comprising:
- an inner frame comprising a side;
- an outer frame comprising three sides;
- and
- a connecting element, wherein:
- both the inner frame and the outer frame are positioned parallel to a first reference plane (the xy-plane),
- the inner frame is positioned within the outer frame,
- the connecting element physically connects the inner frame and the outer frame, and
- the connecting element is positioned parallel to the first reference plane, wherein:
- the wall unit is positioned adjacent to the structural unit.
