1. A substantially L-shaped modular seamless corner component for providing a corner to a structure, comprising:
an outer sheath, an inner sheath, a first strap, a second strap, and an insulation;
wherein the inner sheath, the insulation, and the outer sheath each comprise a top edge, a bottom edge, and two outside edges, wherein each of the inner sheath, the insulation, and the outer sheath is substantially L-shaped, comprising a bend defining a seamless corner;
wherein the seamless corner of the inner sheath is nested within the seamless corner of the insulation, and the seamless corner of the insulation is nested within the seamless corner of the outer sheath;
wherein the inner sheath is attached to the insulation and the insulation is attached to the outer sheath such that the top edges of the inner sheath, the insulation, and the outer sheath are substantially flat and coplanar;
wherein the substantially L-shaped insulation is continuous between the inner sheath and the outer sheath;
wherein the entirety of the first strap is parallel to a first portion of the inner sheath and is positioned completely outside of the insulation; and
wherein the entirety of the second strap is parallel to a second portion of the inner sheath and is positioned completely outside of the insulation.
