Building shipable bamboo housing to be purchased by Aid Organizations to be sent to disaster areas in the pacfic for replacement/temporary housing.
Basic Module
The proposed Raised Bamboo Module consists of two independent two-level housing units with shared facilities and a common stair.
The facilities as well as the cooking, dining and social areas are located on the ground level on a compacted fill pad retained by a sandbag system two steps above the adjacent natural ground level.
The bedrooms are located on the raised level at 8 feet above the ground level and surrounded by a continuous verandah. The raised level would serve as an emergency shelter in extreme flooding conditions.
