TranShel

World Shelters is on the leading edge of transitional shelter.  With our TranShel, we are demonstrating the viability and effectiveness of frameless hard-panel (“shell”) structures for transitional shelter purposes.  Four agencies were asked to develop a design that met the requirements of the Transitional Shelter Standards drafted by the Shelter Centre (the NGO supporting the humanitarian community in post-conflict and disaster shelter and housing). We were the only agency that both met the Requirements Checklist within the time-frame and that were able to produce a production-ready shelter for display at the Shelter Consortium meeting in Geneva (May 2009).

Benefits:

• Very low price point
• Meets and exceeds functional requirements for emergency transitional shelter
• Easily modified to local cultures & materials

Features:

• Rectangular floor plan
• Can serve as roof on any wall one meter or taller, or can come with its own Riser Wall panels for complete shelter.

Our success in this 10-week project indicates our ability to rapidly develop a broad line of shell structures that achieve the performance requirements of the current Transitional Shelter Standards.
