One of my favorite urban innovation ventures, the Dutch
Tempohousing, just sent word that their factory in China has shipped
the promised ~70 prefabricated hotel units of their so-called "
King" design (see above two containers side-by-side making 2 wide rooms with central hallway) for imminent delivery to Haiti. This is just one example of
fast, urgent solutions desperately needed in that devastated land...
"Once the necessary funds were secured, Tempohousing
was able to immediately make available these hotel rooms, that are shipped with all internal furniture and finishes to reduce on site construction as much as possible. The complete hotel is scheduled to be ready in October / November this year. [...] Speed and budget have been key issues in this hotel project, but quality and the delivery of an integrated storm and hurricane proof solution have made Tempohousing the first choice among several global suppliers. The manufacturing facility in China is capable to make layouts and interior finishes exactly to customer wishes with components that meet all international standards. Together with the separate façade system, the end results is simply amazing. An impressive hotel where nobody can see or expect it all started with complete rooms shipped in containers from the Far East."
This is fantastic. Check out the "
King" room more closely here...
