A solar still that collects and focuses sunlight to convert to steam filthy water and condense the steam in a versatile multipurpose cube casing; the solar still's cube casing is also a building block to build horizontal or vertical structures while simultaneously purifying water; the Gigacubes solar still also builds floating structures, all while cleaning itself with the sun's heat, storing the clean water, heating air or water, and seamlessly interfacing with additional blocks; it performs these tasks while purifying water, providing flotation to a community, and cleaning itself; the Gigacubes solar still also grows plants and entire gardens with soil to provide a low maintenance source of local organic fresh produce in areas that would not otherwise be hospitable to plants on account of being devoid of clean or fresh water.

An architectural structure of a modular container house includes: a building body with plural floors each having at least one accommodating space with an external opening; at least one external access area longitudinally disposed at the building body, and each accommodating space being communicated with external access area; and plural container houses, respectively and movably disposed in the accommodating spaces through the openings, and at least one side board of each container house can be spread open and placed horizontally on a ground of each accommodating space, so that the interior of each container house is communicated with each respective accommodating space.

A collapsible modular building is constructed from at least two building modules that are joined together to form the building. Each building module is constructed to be configured in either a collapsed or erect position. In the collapsed position, each module is individually transported to a site by trailer. Once offloaded, the modules are joined together to form the building, this joining together of the modules can be done while the modules are in the collapsed position or in the erect position.

A framework module for use in modular building construction comprises a plurality of elongate upright and cross beams, rigidly connected at or towards their ends to form a box frame with open side and end faces, and; at least one connection point on each of the upright beams which is configured to allow mutual connection with an equivalent connection point located on a substantially identical adjacent framework module, so that a plurality of framework modules can be connected together to form an open-web truss of vertically and horizontally aligned members.

A containers shelter is formed from a base array of 20 ft containers, having a sheltered inner area therebetween, and, from a second floor of 40 ft containers that are connected to the base array of containers and cover entirely the sheltered inner area. The containers are filled with a filling material. The base array comprises an entrance container having an inner opening that is transversely directed to an outer opening.

Described is a modular home bar apparatus that allows for easy home installation and removal. The modular home bar apparatus includes a frame, an L-shaped or U-shaped unit, and optional shelving or ceiling units. The frame can be installed against a wall or as a floating unit in the room. The L-shaped or U-shaped unit covers the top of the frame and at least one side of the frame, providing both stability for the home bar apparatus and a place to mix drinks.

A building structure assembly includes standardized interlocking components sized to suit any particular size of building required and ISO standard shipping containers, including: at least one modular base structure, at least one modular beam structure, and at least one wall support in the form of a shipping container and a method of assembly of the building structure. Each modular beam and base structures a frame, interlocking with each other and a shipping container by corner castings with twist lock assemblies, arranged in a particular orientation with each other. The modular base structure is supported by the corner castings of a shipping container and the base structure supports an end portion of at least one modular beam structure. A modular beam structure spans shipping containers. The modular beam structures can function as roof trusses and are sized to be transported inside shipping containers.

A method of constructing a building using wall panel assemblies and roof panel assemblies that are made up of traditional framing materials, such as studs and interior walls, coated with insulating foam, except that the typical exterior sheathing is optional. Because the panel assembly is structurally sound and thermally insulated, the only reason to install an exterior sheath or additional roofing material is for aesthetic or practical purposes. A beneficial mode for readily applying insulating foam to provide for sealably joining roof panel assemblies to wall panel assemblies is disclosed.

An easily assembled, transportable, re-deployable, modular, protective, double-roof system is disclosed which is compatible with other Modular Protective System (MPS) components and can be assembled in a variety of configurations to provide soldiers and equipment with protective enclosures.
