Photography

Image credit: Calma.Basic unless noted. Please credit Calma.Basic when publishing. Living stills = architectural visualization. Plant floor = prior fabrication for another commission (not a Calma.Basic SKU). For exclusive or print usage, contact press via Telegram first.

Three media sets below: living stills (visualization), prior plant work (capability only), and assembly system boards.

Living stills · architectural visualization

Mood and land context for editorial. These are architectural visualization — not documentary photos of a delivered Calma.Basic home.

Prior plant work · not a Calma.Basic product

These factory-floor stills are from earlier modular fabrication — prior work, not a Calma.Basic house on order. They show real weld, grind, bench, and QC. Orderable Calma.Basic stays One Bay · Two Bay · Three Bay.

Assembly system boards

Diagram boards for how the modular system is specified — axonometric, MEP, lightweight block system, massing.
