How It All Came To Me

Earlier this year in the early part of June I was intuitively led to design a modular platform system for a yurt. After three days of thinking through all the details I knew that it was within my reach to build it. The last day of my visit with my friends on the mountain ended with a dream where I saw these platforms being prefabricated in a warehouse type of setting. In the dream I audibly heard the words, Relocation Platform.

Since then I moved to Mission, BC. Doors have opened where a small group of us have come together who are interested in taking the first steps towards developing sustainable housing. The platforms themselves are designed of triangular framework making them superior in many respects compared to conventional building. After a month of designing the various models and layouts, I'm now ready to build the first platform. The platform is of an interlock design where it is strong enough to be set up without any under structure except for the steel supports.
