Abstract: A retractable roof construction can be manufactured in a factory and quickly deployed when assembling the house. The retractable roof can be made in parts and assembled into its compact formation whilst in the factory. This compact formation reduces space occupied in shipment, reducing the overall cost. When the compact formation roof is on a construction site, the roof can expand on both sides and be raised in the middle to provide an angle to protect against the rain. The expending process can be automated for reducing labor used in the construction. When compared to traditional roof construction, the retractable roof construction allows fast installation as well as reduced cost, both in shipping and labor.

Abstract: A removable window includes a frame on the wall that allows the window to be mounted firmly without any gaps between the frame and the window. The frame on the wall can include a rotating locking mechanism that helps secure the removable modules on the wall and prevents the window to be inadvertently knocked down under any unwanted situations. The window can be fitted on the wall by pushing the removable window module into the frame, and the window module can be locked on the wall. When the window module is removed, several different wall modules can be mounted onto the frame. Such wall modules can not only serve as enclosed walls, but can also provide additional functionalities. This effectively allows users to freely move their windows around the house and switch their windows with other walls to change the overall window layout.

Abstract: An apparatus provides for the flexible adjustment of the position of the windows, as well as for the ability to change the light transmission area of a single window, without wasting too much space.

At the same time, after selecting the specified position, the corresponding position can have a stick to push the wall panel into the specified position and tighten and fix the wall panel in the desired position.
