Pallet Housing that Survived a Cyclone

February 28, by Vikram Goyal.

Pallet-house-cyclone

A prototype Pallet home, that was originally designed as a glorious, cheap, and fast student accommodation, has survived a devastating Cyclone that recently hit parts of Australia.

The Pallet home project, called “The Shelter Project” was designed by three students at a university in Queensland, Australia.

It was designed as part of a competition, and no surprises, actually won that competition.

CQUniversity students Angus Hughes, Mattison Rose and Jessica Kahl came up with the idea to provide temporary housing relief in the form of ‘pallet home’ flat-packs.

Take a tour around the house here:

By using recycled wood pallets the trio aim to distribute these homes to those who lost their own homes in natural disasters. The fact that it withstood a Category 5 cyclone, means that it might work well!

What a great idea. What do you think?
