Documented construction
From chassis to interior close-in.
Specific materials, equipment, and sequencing can vary by configuration and written scope. These images document the original Rise20 build.
02
Complete the structural frame
Wall, loft, and roof framing come together before the enclosure hides the connections.
03
Add structural sheathing
Exterior sheathing begins closing the frame while key openings remain visible.
04
Frame the loft and interior zones
The sleeping loft and interior partitions define how the compact footprint will work.
05
Rough in the systems
Electrical pathways and connection points are routed before insulation and interior finishes.
06
Insulate the envelope
Spray-applied foam covers the roof assembly shown in this original build.
07
Protect and panel the exterior
Weather-resistive layers and exterior panels form the outer assembly before final openings and trim are completed.
08
Complete the exterior envelope
Protective panel layers cover the wrapped shell before the final exterior finish is applied.
09
Insulate the walls and ceiling
Fiberglass batts fill the wall cavities while spray-applied foam covers the overhead assembly.
