Problem
People who have faced involuntary relocation are in dire need of quality housing that can be customised and supplemented with the basic infrastructure and yet is cheap and quick quick enough to deploy.
​
Current solution: mostly airdropped folded tents that come in fixed forms and sizes and lack the capacity to include the basic infrastructure facilities like water pipelines and electricity. Certain effort is required to set up a tent properly and in a stable way. Tents have a general purpose as a temporary residence and are poorly repurposed after the primary need ceased to exist.

Our solution: Eco Bricks houses
Polymer modular brick housing enables easy and intuitive assembly of a housing of highly customisable dimensional configuration.
​
Hollow spaces within the bricks provide for the possibility to install additional infrastructure or insulation to fit the housing for specific environment.
​
The bricks are light and can be put together quickly without additional materials.
​
The structure made of polymer bricks can be easily dismantled with the subsequent use at different location and for different structures.
​
Solid materials used for the construction allow the use of additional synergy solutions (like installation of solar panels on the rooftop).
