Our Team
Our core team brings together expertise from architecture, product development and social design.
We work closely with architects who have lived experience in the shelter system. Their personal stories and insights shape every aspect of our work. Through partnerships with the Red Cross, Planemos, and current residents, we ensure our solutions are grounded in real needs and lived experience.

Partners
The Red Cross provided crucial support by offering our pilot location, facilitating resident communication, and helping bridge the essential gap between design theory and shelter reality. Their expertise in humanitarian housing has been invaluable to our process.
Planemos brings specialized construction expertise to our vision. As our building partner, they're responsible for transforming our designs into precisely crafted, installable products. Their experience in interior projects ensures our prototypes meet both functional and safety standards.
The Creative Industries Fund enabled our research and design phase through their Open Call Room for Justice program. This funding allowed us to approach the project with the depth and rigor it deserves, supporting everything from initial research to prototype development.
Want to collaborate?
We're always looking for partners who share our vision of dignified, empowering shelter spaces.
Let's build together—because everyone deserves a space to call their own.
