Shelter Pack
Pop-up disaster relief shelter
Thousands of people become homeless and lose everything during natural disasters and after they starts to live in post disaster shelters. Beyond survival, shelter is an essential contributor to security, personal safety, protection from the climate and resistance to disease.
The ShelterPack is a flat pack, easy to transport shelter which is 12 square meter and easy to assemble.
It's a disaster relief home that fits a bedroom (with 4 beds), bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, and a dining space (with furniture) into a slab just about 80 centimeters in height. The entire apartment can be set up in just a few hours by elevating the ceiling, and putting the walls in place.
The ShelterPack is ideal for places struck by disaster. When compressed, each pack is small enough to be carried in a semi-automatic truck. In bulk! Imagine giving comfortable homes to a 100 refugees/victims with just two such trucks!
