Natural disaster, disease, lack of employment and political unrest are
just a few of the factors that leave individuals, families, towns, villages
even entire regions without homes. Today, displaced people around
the globe are in desperate need for the safety and security of home.

Approximately 640 million people worldwide are without proper shelter


due to poverty, human conict and natural disaster. The lack of shelter
causes millions to die every year from exposure and disease.

The HabiHut provides secure, durable and


affordable shelter solutions that can
be deployed quickly and cost effectively

demanded a structure that must have long life, rigidity, light weight, ease of assembly, disassembly and reassebly,
innate strength, permanence, resistance to wind, rain and fire, economy,expandability and be constructed of materials
able to withstand the harsh environment often found in disaster areas. The result is The HabiHut.

packed and assembled quickly. Each
unit weighs less than 450 lbs
and can be constructed with
minimal labor in fewer than 2 hours.

added exibility and future redeploy
ment. Minimal tools are required.

Long Lasting
The HabiHut is constructed of high-density, UV resistant polypropylene copolymer panels that will not crack, peel
or fade. The supporting frame structure features high strength extruded aluminum that will not rust or deteriorate.

The life expectancy of a HabiHut is 10-15 years and each unit comes with a 5-year warranty. All parts are
interchangeable, so future repair is convenient.

Unique Shape
The pyramid is basic to the structure, as it solves many of the
requirements. An added consequence of the pyramid is that when
viewed from above, a regular hexagon is formed in plan, thus the
-
hexagonal shape of the floor plan which provides 100% usable
space. The unique design provides a spacious dependable,
weather resistant, long lasting shelter far beyond what canvas
tents provide. An added bonus is that due to the hexagonal form,
multiple units can be joined together at that edges to form a
larger structure much like a beehive permitting maximum
expandability without the sacrifice of valuable land space.

Comfortable Space
High-pitched roof offers greater interior volume, so there is no crouching or
bending when inside the space. Hexagonal design also
allows for multi-purpose areas within a single room.
The HabiHut is designed to use cross ventilation from
roof and windows, so air is constantly circulating while
-
maintaining more comfortable indoor temperatures.
