SURI is a project that started as an easy to transport and assemble emergency shelter, with confort and habitability improvements, that finally has become a low cost architecture modular system.
SURI (Shelter Unit for Rapid Installation) Designed for global solutions with immediate results.
Competitive price.
Lightweight, resistant, easy to transport and assemble.
Each unit can be joined from both directions, allowing clusters to be formed providing shelters of different dimensions to create any type of buildings within in camps.
Higrothermal comfort enhancement improving quality of life. Facades are breathable, waterproof and thermally and acoustically insulated. SURI offers solutions for extreme climates.
Reduced transport costs and difficulties, SURI was designed to be re-fillable once in its destination to reinforce its stability and protection. Local materials such as earth, debris, sand etc...
The design has taken into consideration natural light regulated for optimum temperature and light intake within the shelter as well as providing sufficient energy for light and electricity.
A water collection system has been designed to direct the rainwater to a tank. After passing through a filter it is converted into drinking water.
It is based on Cradle to Cradle design, all materials are recyclable, reusable or biodegradable, making the unit environmentally friendly.
The unit integrates into the landscape and promote social activities.
The walls are treated with a brand new product which is harmless to humans and provides protection against mosquito and other insects. This is essential to prevent serious diseases in camps located in tropical climes.
10 years, 100% UV protected.
With SURI you can build wherever and whatever.
The Structural Design Department at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Alicante, has tested the unit in order to comply with European regulations.
