![The milled building modules then notch together for a flush connection. At these points the modules are pinned together by a connector consisting of two sections of a standard angle steel profile.](https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b60d68d954ca05ab1d5bb778a6b48cdccb75e23cd9966139f6e2e31ac575cdda/Radcliffe-Diagram-1.png)
![The alternating notches on each module allow for the construction to be pieced together as a quasi woven structure. In this way the components flex against each other, providing an inherent rigidity to the structure.](https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fdd0ae838498c50a93db0f36955b7915aba8dafa54396fa758bf9be23cb93d06/Radcliffe-Diagram-2.png)
![The two woven walls are secured together with strip steel structures. These structures also act as the framework to which the “house” units are attached.](https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e8089a99bf5aada4f581c5fc5d9a6f0a2741aa760719bcb73592cac59f17f42d/Radcliffe-Diagram-4.png)
![Each “house” unit is composed of an inner rigid foam skeleton, milled in two pieces. The foam is sealed and then clad by vacuum formed plastic which is painted to a mirror gold finish.](https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b365ac552e4306b1828d2ff876092e9353ad2f418f5d6efc090a0f110ac020ad/Radcliffe-Diagram-5.png)
