Abstract
A building includes a base structure with a floor and foundation, defining a cavity between them. The core structure extends vertically from the floor, while an exterior wall is made up of modular wall segments each having the same width and height. Main utilities are located within the core structure, and at least one set of utilities in the modular wall segment is connected to these main utilities through the cavity defined by the base structure.
Claims20
A building comprising:
- a base structure comprising a floor and a foundation, the base structure defining a cavity between the floor and the foundation;
- a core structure extending vertically from the floor of the base structure;
- an exterior wall comprising modular wall segments, the modular wall segments each having a same width and height;
- main utilities positioned within the core structure;
- and
- utilities positioned in at least one modular wall segment of the modular wall segments forming the exterior wall, the utilities in the at least one modular wall segment connected to the main utilities in the core structure through the cavity defined in the base structure.
3 more elements
A modular wall structure comprising:
- a framework comprising:
- studs;
- spacers positioned between the studs;
- a termination structure on an end of the framework;
- and
- a recess including a bridge and vertical flange defined in the termination structure of the framework.
3 more elements
A method of constructing a building comprising:
- forming a core structure at the building;
- installing main utilities within the core structure;
- forming an exterior modular wall structure in a remote location, the exterior modular wall structure comprising a framework, and utilities secured to the framework;
- forming a modular lateral wall structure at the remote location, the modular lateral wall structure comprising a lateral framework and lateral utilities secured to the lateral framework;
- securing the exterior modular wall structure to the modular lateral wall structure at the building, the modular lateral wall structure extending between the exterior modular wall structure and the core structure;
- and
- connecting the utilities in the exterior modular wall structure to the main utilities through the lateral utilities.
