ALT‑MOD™
A patent-pending building technology that lowers the total cost of multifamily housing — without sacrificing design quality or performance.
What Is Alt‑Mod™?
Alt-Mod™ represents the next evolution of modular construction — a patent-pending building technology designed to bridge the gap between architectural vision and economic reality. Developed with a focus on real-world application for developers and builders, Alt-Mod™ enhances modular efficiency through precision engineering and a refined assembly strategy.
Through this collaborative initiative, EVstudio is proud to serve as the exclusive architecture and engineering partner delivering Alt-Mod™ solutions — integrating our design expertise directly into a system purpose-built for performance, coordination, and cost efficiency.
Alt-Mod™ doesn’t just accelerate delivery — it changes what’s achievable in modular construction, delivering 15–20% lower total building cost while maintaining EVstudio’s commitment to design quality and technical excellence.
How It Works
Traditional modular construction stacks factory-built modules directly on top of one another — so module count rises directly with the size of the building. Alt-Mod™ takes a different approach.
Every Space Is Its Own Module
15 of 15 modules occupied. Manufacturing and transport cost scales directly with total building area.
Alternating Modules, Open Voids
Solid = factory-built module (kitchens, baths, MEP). Dashed = void, finished on site as open living space.
About the Technology
Alt-Mod™ was created through a collaboration between industry leaders Nathan Peterson and Dean Dalvit, combining decades of expertise across modular construction, architecture, engineering, and factory operations.
EVstudio plays a key role in bringing this vision to life — applying our multidisciplinary design and engineering capabilities to ensure that Alt-Mod™ projects meet the highest standards of coordination, constructability, and design integrity.
While EVstudio continues to work with a wide range of manufacturing partners to deliver the best possible outcomes for every project, Alt-Mod™ represents a unique, purpose-built system that integrates design and production into a single, highly efficient solution.

Who It’s For
Affordable & Workforce Housing Developers
Every dollar saved is the difference between a deal that pencils and one that doesn’t — especially on LIHTC and other tightly-funded projects.
Market-Rate Multifamily Developers
Improved economics and efficiency on projects where margins still depend on construction cost.
Housing Authorities & Municipalities
Closing shortages, maximizing impact inside funding constraints, and hitting long-term housing goals.
Non-Profit Housing Orgs, Senior & Student Housing & PPPs
Mission-driven, specialized housing where every dollar is accountable — lower building cost stretches grant-funded and fixed budgets into more units.
