The structure is a 3-dimensional network of square panels intersecting corner to corner, defining truncated octahedrons. Loads travel down the angular zigzagging edges of the network of panels, braced in 3 dimensions by surrounding pods, with additional stiffness provided by hexagonal surface panels. Aligned in its hexagonal orientation, three truncated octahedral pods surround a central elevated pod with roof access to all four pods. It's a novel experience in 3-dimensional architecture, giving hope to many future larger developments in different materials
