Design
Lattice shelter can be an eligible solution to relieve emergency housing crisis in conflicted areas around the world, as it is low cost, transportable, easy-to-assembly and stackable.The Shelter aims to provide an emergency housing solution for people displaced from their homes due to natural disasters and other conflicts worldwide.The form developed through spatial lattice experiments with folding, stackable, lightweight structures.
Experiments
Starting the project lattice shelter was a stackable, folding, lightweight structure with advantegous geometrical characteristics.
“By 2030 an estimated 100 million people worldwide are homeless and one in four people live in harmful conditions that to their health, safety and prosperity.Access to housing is a precondition for access to employment, education, health, and social services. In order to address the current housing challenges, all levels of government should put housing at the centre of urban policies by placing people and human rights at the forefront of urban sustainable
development.”

Innovative Design Solutions
The main strengths of our housing unit are
that:foldable,easy to transport, quick to set
up, and we also offer modular living spaces
with an urban fabric design adaptable to
divers needs.In the 2.0 version it can be
expanded with solar panels too.
Layouts Details
The joints enable various layout possibilities. Connected to each other in multiple ways we can create huge networks from the shelter units leaving in between spaces open if necessary.
Details
Some columns are fixed and screwed together. The upper and lower movable parts are attached with pivot joints for flexibility, snapping into position when opened. The roof and sides are weaved through with fabric and the top is tilted for rainwater collection. The design is ready made and can be assembled on site without any professional knowledge.
