Vessel
Calypso.

The apartment building, engineered as a product.

Cars, phones and computers were all reshaped by design and manufacturing at scale. Housing was left out. Vessel Calypso is the apartment building, finally made like a product.

Five systems, from the steel frame to the roof. Scroll to take it apart, one layer at a time.

  1. Steel structureType II-B, non-combustible steel on fourteen-foot bays. No wood anywhere in the frame.
  2. Factory-made panelsMade in Vessel's own factory, shipped flat-packed and stacked, then assembled by ordinary trades.
  3. EnvelopeTriple-glazed, argon-filled windows and about R-21 continuous insulation. Tested for coastal salt air.
  4. The homesNine-foot ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling window, a rain shower and a washer and dryer in every home.
  5. RoofHeat pumps up top, no gas service at all, and solar-ready from day one.

Higher margins, year after year.

Steel instead of wood, panels instead of paint, electric instead of gas. The savings come from the building itself, so the margin they add lasts as long as you own it.
