Future Shack
by Sean Godsell Architects

    

IN THE ARCHITECTS WORDS

A mass provided, self-sustained relocatable house for emergency, relief & remote housing. Recycled shipping containers are used as a base module. The parasol roof and footing structure pack within the container for transportation. The house is powereed by a PV solar cell and battery. While the phototype has cooking/lavatory
 
 

facilites the base module can be varied depending upon specific needs. Because the container is a universal module, multiple units can be easily stockpiled and transported at short notice. For example, India, Kosovo, Kobe, Turkey, Soweto, Ethiopia, East Timor and Athens - people recently displaced by natural disaster or wars.
