PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

This is a design for simple, flexible, and re-useable shelter. Structural frame assembly is galvanized steel scaffold, and formwork panels serve as insulated wall units. Both, frame and wall panels can be made by the same manufacturer, and brought to site as kit of parts and assembled. Each shelter can be a stand alone unit, or positioned in alternating rows, where front patios can double as elevated walkways. In this case, group of shelters can form a small community where living quarters are connected by a common space or structure. Roof of each unit is accessible and is intended to serve as a small roof garden.
