A connector includes at least two cavities or receptacles extending from a base to receive adjacent tubes of a wall or panel. The receptacles are closed at one end. At least two walls extend from the base in the same direction as the receptacles. The walls are positioned on the base and outside the receptacles such that the panels are secured to a specific angular orientation with respect to each other. A top connector and a bottom connector are used to secure rods or tubes of adjacent panels. A series of top and bottom connectors can be used to secure multiple panels to form an enclosure, such as a kennel or gazebo.

A polyhedral building module may be connected along its sides to manufacture free form buildings or structures. A multiplicity of individual polyhedral building modules may be manufactured remotely and shipped to a building site where they can be attached to one another and the building constructed. Ideally, the polyhedral building modules may be attached to each other using hand tools. Upright members or columns provide support for a roof structure. The building module may be raised off of the ground by brace members attached to the underside of the building module's floor structure.

The disclosed technology can be implemented to use pre-fabricated materials shaped from truncated polyhedrons to construct customized building designs via on-site assembling without otherwise complex, expensive, and laborious on-site construction. In implementations, such pre-fabricated materials can be made as components for a customized building design and can be fabricated from strong, durable fabricated materials such as composite wood materials like cross laminated timber (CLT) materials and others suitable for mass production and customization. In addition, the disclosed technology can be implemented to provide a home design and construction service online platform to enable customers to plan and to do customized designs for, their business buildings or homes at their selected sites, to order the construction of their buildings based on their final designs and to monitor the construction process, and to engage building material suppliers and construction contractors in the building design, planning and construction processes.

A housing unit includes a central mast configured to be coupled to a portion of terrain, and upper ring, a lower ring, one or more wall panels, wherein the upper ring, the lower ring, and the one or more wall panels define a living space outer boundary, a plurality of first tensile members each configured to couple the upper ring to the central mast at a first central mast region, wherein the upper ring is configured to be suspended by the plurality of first tensile members below the first central mast region, and a plurality of second tensile members each configured to couple a periphery of the lower ring to a periphery of the upper ring, wherein the lower ring is configured to be suspended by the plurality of second tensile members below the upper ring and above the portion of terrain, wherein the upper ring and the lower ring are coupled to the portion of terrain only at the central mast.

A modular structure has a frame including header beams defining an outer perimeter of the structure at a top of the frame, header corner brackets connecting consecutively arranged header beams, footer beams defining an outer perimeter of the structure at a bottom of the structure, footer corner brackets connecting consecutively arranged footer beams, and intermediate beams extended between the top of the frame and the bottom of the structure, each intermediate beam being fixed with one of the header corner brackets, and fixed with one of the footer corners brackets. A roof supported on the frame includes an arm positioned on one of the header corner brackets. A turnbuckle fixed at a position closer to the top of the frame as compared to the bottom of the structure, and fixed at a position closer to the bottom of the structure as compared to the top of the frame.
