Customizable Reva Cold Shelter: A Breakthrough in Relief Operations
Introduction
In the wake of natural disasters or humanitarian crises, providing shelter to those in need is paramount.
REVA PROJECTS LLC, an international design studio specializing in transitional architecture, has formulated a pioneering solution - the
Reva Cold Shelter. Built for extreme conditions, this customizable shelter offers a variety of configurations tailored to the requirements of different scenarios.
Design Features of the Reva Cold Shelter
The brainchild of designer
Max Borshchevskiy, the Reva Cold Shelter is meticulously crafted to adapt to various specifications, ensuring its functionality and durability in tough climates. The key to its versatility lies in its customizable design options.
Modular Structure
The shelter consists of individual modules that can be assembled in various configurations. On average terrain, up to five modules can be combined, while a greater number can be installed on flat ground. The choice of modules directly correlates with the number of sleeping units available inside. Additionally, the shelter can feature an optional kitchenette, shower, and toilet, catering to the needs of occupants in diverse environments.
Robust Exterior
Protection against the elements is critical. The shelter's exterior is fortified with marine-grade PVC vinyl, known for its resilience against harsh weather and moisture. Clients can choose from a broad palette of solid colors and camouflage patterns, with options also available for antibacterial coverings. For enhanced security, the design can incorporate a ballistic cover from NH Co., Ltd., capable of withstanding common firearm projectiles.
Environmental Considerations
To ensure thermal efficiency, elevating the shelter is essential, especially in high-altitude regions prone to strong winds. REVA PROJECTS offers four footing options - rock, sand, soil/clay, and ice - accommodating the diverse terrains where shelters may be deployed.
Advanced Climate Control
Addressing the dual challenges of extreme cold and heat, the Reva Cold Shelter can be outfitted with heating and cooling units capable of functioning in temperatures ranging from below -10°F to over 100°F. Optional HEPA filtration units and powered exhaust vents can be included for fresh air circulation, with passive air vents provided as standard features.
Light and Accessibility
Natural light is a critical aspect of occupant comfort. Translucent side windows allow sunlight while maintaining privacy, coupled with transparent, front-facing windows designed for easy tool-free installation. In case of emergencies like flooding, the front door is detachable and can serve as a flotation device.
Power Supply and Safety
The Reva Cold Shelter can be connected to any international electricity grid, featuring a 60-amp distribution board capable of accommodating multiple voltage inputs. The setup includes numerous GFCI-protected outlets for both 120 and 220 volts, ensuring safety and efficiency. The shelter structure also reliably supports solar panels, generators, and battery systems for sustainable off-grid energy solutions.
Conclusion
Through the Reva Cold Shelter,
REVA PROJECTS LLC is setting a new benchmark in disaster response and humanitarian assistance. Tailored for versatility and designed for harsh conditions, these shelters provide not just temporary refuge, but relief, safety, and a semblance of normality in the aftermath of crises.
