About
One of the most significant challenges faced by countries affected by natural disasters is the simultaneous loss of homes, loved ones, and familiar routines for thousands of individuals. Returning to this way of living may take months or even years. Octomare is an emergency shelter designed for earthquakes, providing permanent communal living spaces that help people recover and quickly adapt to their former lives. These shelters enable individuals to continue their daily activities and come together as a community.
Octomare shelters accommodate up to eight people, offering functional, compact, and safe living spaces. They can be assembled quickly, with hundreds of units set up in a day, and last for years. The lightweight steel structure ensures durability and modular portability, providing extra privacy and eliminating unnecessary loss of space.
