E-Hab is an alternative dwelling, challenging the scale, permanence of place, singularity of land use, and infrastructure needs in the way we live.

1. E-Hab is intended to offer secondary occupancy for a broad range of conditions: guests, retreats, ADUs, emergency housing, second homes, and private offices, to name a few.

2. E-Hab fully loaded is self sufficient, with a range of infrastructure systems to generate all necessary heat, power, and water.

3. E-Hab is fully prefabricated, with the highest manufacturing standards, requiring minimal site assembly.

4. E-Hab is not permanently affixed to its site: it is readily moveable with pick-points, designed for travel and 100 years of service. E-Hab is supported by a small foundation of 6 concrete sonatube piers, cast in place (which are not moveable).

5. E-Hab systems are monitored remotely, systematically triggering maintenance and service calls when needed.

6. E-Hab units may be placed alone, or grouped in three unit configurations around a communal deck.
