Why is the maximum sized module only 20×20?

0

A. First and foremost because a larger module would require more than one person to build throughout most of the process; whereas a 20×20 only requires the help of a second person for about 5 to 8 hours. Secondly because the dimensions of the design, due to the angular walls, are in all cases 6’9″ larger [at the widest point] than the nominal sizes. (For example, the 20×20 module is actually 26’9″ x 26’9″…where the angular space gained provides for installation of various utilities, such as refrigerator, sinks, seating, and furniture, which frees-up otherwise occupied floor space.) The size of a 20×20 module is therefore much larger than one would imagine; where if any bigger it would lose the aesthetic feel of a modular design. Also, it looks much larger than it really is, by virtue of an optical illusion created by the angular wall space. And this is the case when viewing from the exterior as well as the interior.
