Thanks for your comments. The framing is typically 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 steel tubes welded (all the way around) at 16 oc. Pretty typical I think. With the plywood (not particle board) you get some pretty serious sheer strength. Not sure why but we always seem to hit on the 24.5 feet in length. It works out nicely because it equals 5 whole exterior sheets minus overlap. However if a client approaches us and wants a shorter unit, we;ll build it. As an architect i have become quite good at designing efficient usable spaces in a small volume.

I too am intrigued by Spooner's project and would love to see more photos. We are seriously considering moving our subcontract for the exterior to another supplier who builds in aluminum. They have come up with some very cool extrusions and i would love to intergrate into the interior design.
