I'm not sure what do you mean with "4 sided piramid", but here some very easy models that I've folded right now.

From the left.
The first one is the most easy, but it is bottomless
The middle one is a little bit long to fold (and has a woven bottom)
The small one is a regular completely closed tetraedron (a pyramid in which all 4 sides are equilateral triangles)

All 4 pyramids are folded by a 9x9cm square sheet

Here the bottom view

Obviously there are many many other solutions.
If you will be more detailed in your request we could surely halp you better

Uh OK.
I was overreading my answer and I was thinking to have drunk too much sparkling wine on Last Christmass

Now I've understood.

Here's a CP for a Penta-Pyramid near the bottom of the page: http://www.zingman.com/origami/polyhedra.html

There may be a design in "A Plethora of Polyhedra in Origami" by Montroll.

Is this what you are looking for, or modular designs ?
