An innovative variable floorplan shelter for previously unbuildable types of land that allows the freedom to change the sizes and/or the shapes and/or the number of rooms within the shelter utilizing movable walls that offer choice of transparent, translucent or opaque walls for a variety of privacy levels. The innovative new shelter has an enhanced speed of construction based upon mass produced, modular components with over 80% of the components being relatively lightweight allowing the carrying and assembly of components by hand by unskilled labor in a reduced period of time. The new shelter offers the innovative function of being able to add or subtract floor space and/or change the overall shape of that floor space at any time. The new shelter has an option of including a floor/ceiling/utility modular system of pie shaped hollow boxes that connect to the central pole and join with other floor/ceiling/utility modules to form a radial horizontal planes supported at the outer perimeter by the radialy spaced support cables or tension members. Each floor/ceiling/utility module contains a wide range of built in utilities such as water plumbing pipes with water supply valves with fire suppression pipes with fire suppression nozzles, supply ventilation ducts with supply ventilation vents, return ventilation ducts with return ventilation vents, data wiring conduit and data connectors, electrical power conduit with electrical power outlets, flush mounted lighting, female edge connectors and male edge connectors. The variable floorplan shelter for previously unbuildable types of land provides an inexpensive alternative to conventional shelters by creating a system of construction that requires little or no grading, sight leveling, retaining walls or concrete ground pad for reduced cost of building. The first installed major component of the new shelter serves multifunctions as a crane, the main structural element, a multiple component connector, a conduit, a drain, an elevator, a ladder and as a tent post for attachment of a lot sized protective fabric tent for indoor construction. Because the floors and ceilings are flat parallel planes with the main structural supports near the center of each floor, 360 degree view houses are now possible with the option for full privacy on demand. The new shelter has the option for an innovative partial vacuum insulation technology that allows low transfer of heat, cold and sound inside the shelter between rooms and outside the shelter providing weather insulation. The new shelter also makes an efficient, passive heating and cooling system available to reduce heating and cooling utility costs. The new shelter utilizes an infinitely variable wall positioning system that allows the outside walls of the shelter to be moved inward from the edges of the floors and ceilings to create outdoor balconies of any size and/or shape, as well as the ability to reposition interior walls for changing interior space needs.
