Providing the Basics

 

The Emergency Cabin offers a simple, yet private, comfortable, and safe environment for people in need of temporary accommodation, providing both personal space and secure storage for personal belongings. The cabins can be used to create individual sleeping spaces in locations such as halls, office buildings, or vacant lots.
The design includes essential furniture such as a bed with integrated storage, shelves, power socket(s), lighting, and a coat rack. Inside the Emergency Cabin, users have enough space to stand, sit, and move comfortably. A chair with a fold-out wall table and/or (lockable) wardrobe, can also be mounted as an optional addition.
A cabin offers significantly more privacy than a bunk bed in a traditional dormitory setting. It restores a sense of autonomy, bringing important mental health benefits for it’s occupant. A cabin provides the basic amenities needed for a dignified stopover on the way to more permanent accommodation.

Simple & effective design

The design prioritizes low cost, space efficiency, and practical functionality. Each unit can be assembled or dismantled rapidly, without the need for specialized tools or technical knowledge.

Each cabin is constructed from six plywood panels that can be easily disassembled, transported flat, and stored compactly. The cabin’s plywood construction ensures a robust, long-lasting structure that can handle heavy use with ease. The cabin can be reused. This keeps installation costs consistently low, and individual components can be replaced inexpensively.

making use of empty space

The modular units can be placed side by side, filling an empty (office) floor, or they can be stacked vertically (2 to 3 storeys high) to make optimal use of the available space. Portable shower- and toiletunits can be added, in case facilities are not available in the used buildings or spaces.
