With global disasters becoming more commonplace, the need for emergency and disaster relief housing is becoming more urgent. Enter the inflatable Life Cube from Santa Barbara, California. Designed to be set up in under five minutes, the Life Cube neatly folds into a recycled plastic transport container and has the options of an electrical system with 12-volt battery, solar panel trickle charger, lighting, electric pump, communications station, propane system with cooking stove and catalytic heater, and a structural system with table and telescopic uprights for wind support.
“Built to survive in the harshest conditions, the patented structural beam design will withstand 50mph (80kph) sustained winds. To suit any sized sheltering need, the canopy is designed with three doorways to allow units to be lined-up and zipped together creating multiple rooms, live, work, and entertainment space with independent access,” explains the company website.
