Housing Complex Designed by Social Action Architects

architects_f_society__globalconstructinreview__credit__hexagonal_houses_for_disastersThe social action organization Architects for Society (AFS) has designed a hexagonal housing system for catastrophic situations that can be assembled by occupants-to-be. Designed to be shipped to disaster areas in pieces, the Hex House contains typical home amenities and can last 15 to 20 years. Multiple homes can be joined to save heat energy, as globalconstructionreview tells MHProNews.

A galvanized steel tube forms the base; the walls, floors and ceilings are structural insulated metal panels that can be coated with conventional interior and exterior finishes.

Powered by solar panels, the unit collects rainwater and has ventilation shafts that can be altered to provide optimum cooling.

Comprised of designers from the U. S., Europe and the Middle East, AFS describes itself as “a non-profit design practice with a mission to enhance the built environment of disadvantaged communities through innovative architecture and design.” ##
