CommUnity Shelter+ Quick Facts

Purpose

A climate-ready, soft-cover shelter system designed to replace tents and reduce repeated replacement cycles in flood and weather exposed displacement settings.

Typical Use Cases

• Family shelters
• Clinics and health posts
• Classrooms and child-friendly spaces
• Safe spaces for women and people with disabilities
• CommUnity Spaces and shared facilities

Standard Sizes

• 3 × 3 m
• 3 × 5 m
• 3 × 6 m
• 3 × 8 m Available with or without awning. Units can be joined or reconfigured to support growing and changing community needs.

Key Features

• 250 mm waterproof raised floor to prevent groundwater and surface water ingress
• Managed roof water flow designed to support local drainage systems and reduce site erosion, reflecting land-care and stewardship principles
• Layered wall and roof system delivering waterproofing, rot resistance, UV protection and fire performance without chemical treatments
• TensionPro+ anchoring system to keep shelters grounded in severe weather, monsoonal and high-wind conditions

Deployment

• Setup time: under 30 minutes with 2x persons
• Crew: 1–2 people
• Tools: no tools required

Durability, Stewardship and Standards

• Designed for prolonged displacement and repeated seasonal exposure
• Reusable, repairable and re-deployable components
• Designed to reduce lifecycle cost and material waste compared to repeated tent replacement
• Designed to align with UN SDGs and UNHCR shelter guidelines

Adaptability

• Compatible with insulation, climate kits, solar power, accessibility and security upgrades

Infrastructure can evolve over time without full replacement    

Sentinel+ Quick Facts

Purpose

A modular, hard-cover structure system designed to provide durable, semi-permanent housing and infrastructure in displacement, recovery and service delivery settings where tents and light shelters are no longer appropriate.

Typical Use Cases

• Housing for displaced community members in prolonged and semi-permanent displacement
• Health facilities and clinics
• WASH facilities (toilets, showers, hygiene blocks)
• Communal kitchens and cooking spaces
• Classrooms and learning hubs
• Operations, administration and coordination centres
• Staff accommodation
• CommUnity Spaces supporting shared services and community life

Configuration and Layout

Sentinel+ is built around a universal structural Grid™ combined with interchangeable Tiles™ that define function (wall, door, window, ventilation, services or internal partition). This shared system allows Sentinel+ units to be deployed as:

• Standalone structures
• Linked rows for housing, kitchens or administration
• Hub configurations for clinics, learning and community services
• Corridor layouts that safely connect spaces and protect movement in all weather

Units can be combined, extended or reconfigured over time without rebuilding or waste. Structural and Climate Features

• Hard-panel wall and roof system designed for durability, security and long-term exposure
• On-ground or raised-floor configurations, depending on flood risk, terrain and site conditions
• Integrated anchoring and grounding system (TensionPro+) for high-wind, monsoonal and severe-weather environments
• Hard-panel wall and roof system designed for durability, security and long-term exposure
• On-ground or raised-floor configurations, allowing Sentinel+ to be installed directly on existing concrete slabs, asphalt or prepared base materials where available, or elevated where flood risk and terrain require
• Integrated anchoring and grounding system (TensionPro+) for high-wind, monsoonal and severe-weather environments

 

Localisation, Waste and Logistics

• Localisable design: panels and components can be manufactured regionally to support local economies
• Low-waste system: flat-packable, reusable and repairable, with replaceable components and no full-unit disposal
• Can be supplied as component kits for maximum container efficiency and fewer deliveries
• Or pre-fabricated to varying levels for faster installation with fewer units per container
• Deployment approach is selected in partnership with agencies and donors, based on site conditions and urgency
• Designed to replace dozens of fixed caravan or prefab variants with a single adaptable system, reducing procurement complexity

Services and Power Readiness

• Pre-wired and pre-planned for solar power, lighting, fans, heating, cooking and other electrical needs
• Compatible with integrated WASH, power and service systems as part of broader site planning

Durability, Stewardship and Standards

• Intended for prolonged use beyond emergency timelines
• Reusable, repairable and re-deployable components
• Designed to reduce lifecycle cost, waste and repeated replacement cycles
• Designed to align with UN SDGs and UNHCR shelter and infrastructure guidelines
