When in a state of crisis, capsule homes can serve as a good and quick alternative for providing shelter. After a natural disaster, the need for temporary shelters becomes high and these units being fully equipped for safety and comfort are the best solution.It takes only a short time to assemble, and capsule houses are also environmentally friendly and can thrive as a renewable energy source, which is important when establishing temporary housing in fragile ecosystems and urban areas, allowing them to operate independently of traditional utilities and reducing pressure on local resources.
One notable example is the Jordan-based Za’atari Refugee Camp, one of the largest camps in the world that hosts thousands of refugees who have fled conflict in Syria. The use of capsule houses there demonstrates their effectiveness in providing immediate, durable and sustainable housing solutions for displaced populations.
