From my head on metal garage
Originally influenced by the Nissen hut design of the British, Quonset huts have thus been transformed and adapted into functional units that offer great flexibility in interior design. The primary offshoot of the initial Quonset hut design is the arch roofed warehouse model which is constructed with Aluminum. Other influences include the Weather Port structures which employ the design principles of the Jamesway hut. Quonset huts have also shaped other patented housing models including the Pacific hut and the Portaseal hut units. Quonset huts have also influenced the designing of everything from homes to commercial districts.
