The global trend in population migration from the countryside to the city, together with the increasingly extreme weather conditions caused by global warming, are leading to an increase in situations where large quantities of people will have to be evacuated and looked after in the long-term. Here ShelterHome – a modular, minimal “home” for two people – is setting new standards. Lightweight, it can be erected by two people without any tools. It provides two beds and storage space for personal belongings. It would be very expensive to recycle the ShelterHomes after they have been used for a long period, so it is extremely important that the materials used are sustainable and 100% recyclable.
