5 key facts about this project
Located in regions affected by conflict and displacement, MicroHope provides modular shelter solutions aimed at supporting individuals and families impacted by war. The design addresses both environmental resilience and community needs, facilitating physical protection and social recovery through adaptable living arrangements and shared spaces.
Modular Design and Community Integration
The settlement is composed of small, modular units arranged around communal areas that encourage interaction and cultural exchange among residents. Various configurations accommodate different household sizes, with core living modules equipped with essential amenities and additional structures available for larger families. Centralized neighborhood spaces support social activities and access to basic services, fostering community cohesion and well-being.
Sustainable Material Selection
Materials were chosen to balance durability, thermal performance, and environmental impact. Oriented strand board (OSB) provides insulation, while plywood contributes structural stability. Waterproof panels protect moisture-prone zones, and integrated solar panels reduce dependence on external energy sources. The use of recycled materials further supports sustainability goals and practical functionality, contributing to the efficiency and resilience of the settlement.
