ISOphonix in cooperation with tSUBO Design and the ArteCOOP present the ISOform Shelter using its eco-sustainable Structural Insulated Panel (SIPs) technology.

ISOphonix SIPs are an in-expensive, eco-sustainable, and durable building technology, utlising a sandwich of Oriented Strand Board (OSB) and a Polyurothane core (PUR).

The ISOform Shelter is earthquake-proof, bullet-proof, water-proof, and heat-proof (i.e. reflects the suns heat during the day, and retains heat during the night). The expected life-span is anticipated to be around 15 years depending on re-utlisation and weather conditions.

ISOform Shelters are pre-fabricated and factory engineered prior to distribution, and can be constructed in a matter of hours by easily trained construction workers. The lightweight design, and modular construction allows for easy re-use and re-location, ideal for temporary and semi-permanent encampments.

The ISOform Shelter has been produced by the ArteCOOP in collaboration with ISOphonix, specifically in response to requests from the British Embassy in Israel to devise an inexpensive housing and shelter solution for the Palestinian refugees in the Gaza and the West Bank. Subsequent to initial talks the ISOform Shelter will be presented to UNRWA as a potential solution for mass production and distribution.

UNRWA (the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East) is a relief and human development agency, providing education, healthcare, social services and emergency aid to over 4.4 million refugees living in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon and the Syrian Arab republic.
