The Simple Universal Building System is a design approach for building temporary or permanent structures that are both reconfigurable and exceedingly strong.  It has many advantages over both traditional stickbuilt and newer factory built modular structures.  It is suitable for housing and many other applications.  The system is described in detail in the following SUBS articles and illustrations.   Typical basic panels [floor/wall/roof, door, and window] are shown, and the basic connector.   An elevation and floor plans for the very small two story Alpine Cabinette design, 12'x16' floors x8' ceiling height are provided to help visualize how components of the system can be assembled to create a structure.
