The houses were put together by the use of 354 modular construction units, each 17'6" by 38'6" by 10' high, precast of concrete. After casting, the modular units were taken to a finishing area, where kitchens, bathrooms, window frames, insulation, fixtures, etc. were installed. The unit - weighing 70-90 tons - was then lifted into place by crane. In grouping the units, the garden of each home is formed on the roof of the unit below. Each garden is provided with planters, automatically irrigated and fertilized from a central source. The occupants choose flowers and shrubs to suit their fancy.
