Organization:Enbox

Enbox, short for Engineered Boxes, is a corporation which designs intermodal shipping containers and modular housing units. Most free apartments on Gaia were based off the standardized container design created by Enbox, if not designed and built entirely by Enbox.

Standardization
Standards created by the Enbox Corporation include... These four standards make up huge sections of the modern Gaian cityscape, due to the constant influx of newly-resurrected people needing homes. The exceptions are family-owned communities, and open-air habitats given to newcomers with claustrophobia.
 * Gaian Standardized Container (GSC): Based off of the intermodal shipping containers of the Old Real, the GSC is slightly wider and somewhat shorter (2.5 meters tall and 2.5 meters wide, or 8.2021 feet tall and 8.2021 feet wide) versus ISO-668 containers (2.591 meters tall and 2.438 meters wide, or 8 feet and 6 inches tall and 8 feet wide). GSC lengths come in units of 1.25 meters, with the longest being 17.5 meters long, and with walls that are 12.5 cm thick. They're a box you store stuff in, nothing to see here.
 * All-In-One Sanitation System: The acronym was on purpose. The ASS consists of a toilet with an electronic bidet, a toilet seat that doubles as a chair, and a showerhead above the user. Each ASS is connected via plumbing to an Omni Processor. It's definitely not anyone's favorite part of their home, but it's either design a tiny modular toilet or hold it in forever.
 * Modular Housing Unit (MHU): Based off the GSC, the MHU - also commonly referred to as a "Moo Box" (in marketing) or "Cow Box" (derogatory slang) - consists at minimum of a sink, a fridge, a breaker panel and an ASS, arranged inside of a GSC. Most recent MHUs have a radio or TV, and almost all have a bed and a desk. MHUs are 2.5 meters tall and come in units of 2.5 meters, with the longest being 17.5 meters long, and with walls that are 12.5 cm thick. Think along the lines of a Tokyo apartment built inside a shipping container, and you've got a Moo Box.
 * Modular Apartment Framework (MAF): Corridors, elevators, fire sprinklers and utilities are all included in the MAF system. Utilities include upgradable telecommunication systems, dynamail pipes, electricity lines, water and sewage. If the Moo Box is the leaf, the MAF is the tree trunk and branches.

Enbox does not own the dynamail system, which is open source, but the company has designed dozens of MAF and MHU modulues with integrated d-mail pipelines and is largely responsible for the success of the d-mail system. In turn, the Enbox subsidiary Vac-U-Vend accounts for 10% of all d-mail traffic.
