Thank you for posting this. It's ironic that we didn't set out to design something stylish. We felt that designer's egos were mucking up the functional potential of modular dwellings. The way it looks is based off of necessity/logic.

The rear mechanical deck has enough room to accept a comfortably sized bathroom module. It's simply a matter of hooking a hose and sewer drain/septic tank to the prefitted panels. Also you should know that the small size you see is not what is intended for disaster relief. We couldn't build a larger unit because we had only a small amount of grant money to use, along with throwing in our own paychecks, eating ramen noodles to this day...I think we spent about $17k, which is amazing for a first try.

Let me know if you have any questions. I like to make sure this idea is mostly bullet proof.

Best,
Sean
