Jupe is reimagining structures from the ground up. What the Rivian chassis does for myriad electric vehicles (i.e. Ford, Amazon Delivery, etc), Jupe’s chassis is doing for all types of housing and the built environment. The Jupe is a flat packed transportable platform that contains the guts of a structure’s use case. Jupe can act as the foundation interface for medical units in a pandemic, backyard homes (ADUs) in San Jose, to transitional disaster relief housing in Puerto Rico. Jupe platforms come ‘pre-charged’ upon arrival (24 to a trailer) with a week’s worth of power and water.
