Flat-pack refugee housing

A design company has announced a system for "flat-pack housing" — long-term dwellings that sleep four and take up a quarter of a shipping container.

The SHRIMP (Sustainable Housing for Refugees via Mass Production) is an attempt to bring housing and other relief to large displaced or homeless populations, especially those who have suffered in a natural disaster. Providing shelter to a family of four, it folds up into 1/4 of a shipping container for efficient deployment.
