Fold flat. Land anywhere. Live, farm or host guests by the next sunrise.

Journey · value chain · 11 steps

From a pin on a map to a room that unfolds in an afternoon.

The plan: every ORIJO module is cut in a licensed micro-factory, folded flat, tested and weighed, shipped in standard containers and opened on site by two people, a winch and a robot. Nothing is poured. Everything can fold back.

02 Where the time goes

The building takes an afternoon. The ocean takes weeks.

Each step on a log scale shows how small the on-site part is. Switch to the calendar to see the fastest and slowest paths from order to a commissioned home, added up from the step targets.

Durations are concept.json targets. Calendar mode counts 5–10 working days as 7–14 calendar days, and treats a step marked “≤ 48 h” as 0–48 h. From the order to commissioning: 17–63 days calculated. Potable water sign-off waits for the lab result.

03 Step 05 · Ship

Three rooms in one box. Load it, then unload it.

A YOSHI-4 room folds into two half-shell packs, 3.70 × 2.30 × 1.10 m each: twelve 80 mm facets stacked like an accordion, hinged by membrane knuckles, crated on hinoki skids. Three columns of two fill a 40 ft high-cube. The readouts are computed from the packs on board.

Internal 40 ft HC 12.0 × 2.35 × 2.69 m and 20 ft HC 5.90 × 2.35 × 2.69 m are ISO assumptions. Pack mass is half of the YOSHI-4 room target (≤ 2,200 kg), HOSHI-2 and KURA-3 masses are module targets. The door bay of the YOSHI plan carries the leg crates, which is illustrative.

concept.json · value_chain[5] — 40 ft HC container (internal about 12.0 x 2.35 x 2.69 m, ISO assumption) holds 6 YOSHI half-shell packs = 3 YOSHI-4 rooms (calculated: 3 along x 2 high of 3.70 x 2.30 x 1.10 m; 80 mm panels) or 14-16 HOSHI pallets (calculated: 2.0 x 2.0 x 0.6 m, 6 floor positions x 2-3 high, limited by mass); packs are 2.30 m wide, inside EU, US and Japan road limits; IE home = 1 x 40 ft + 1 x 20 ft (KURA); 6-key hotel = 2 x 40 ft + 2 x 20 ft.

An IE home, hour by hour.

The 36.4 m² home ships as one 40 ft and one 20 ft container. Here is one way two crews sequence its ten modules, using each module’s deploy-hour target and only the physical dependencies: legs first, the core before the vault docks to it, the vault before the organs that plug into its sill.

05 Who does the work

People decide. Machines repeat.

Every step names who or what does it. Licensed engineers sign, crews of two open the building, and the repetitive work goes to a CNC router, a cobot, a winch, a drone and TSURU, the robot that walks the ridge.
