Prize winning design! Smarter, more Sustainable shelters that cut costs by 55%

Fresh look We took a hard look at how natural and human-disaster-impacted communities were being served with shelter options.


Cost effective and Climate smart Through an innovation lens, we re-designed the shelter to be more climate-smart, durable, cost effective and adaptive.


Community focus Dignity of the individual and the community is at the heart of the design.


Space and Safety We added safety and increased the space for families without increasing the overall footprint with a minimum 2 metre height inside and a front verandah.


Smart Design for Sustainability From the climate-smart design of the shelter and packaging through the use of sustainable materials throughout we reduce the carbon footprint by up to 72% and reduce costs over a typical contract period in excess of 55%.

Compared: UNHCR Family Tent vs GRS Modular Shelter. Based on an annual budget of $1.0m USD over a 4 year period


Extended Reach: Our shelters can double the housing capacity within the same annual budget, significantly expanding reach without additional spend.


Prolonged Protection: Our shelters offer enduring resilience beyond 12-months, reducing the frequency of annual replacement and enhancing aid efficiency.


Eco-Friendly Operations: Our solution reduces the frequency of ordering, manufacturing and shipping, leading to lower environmental impact including waste and preservation of local habitats.


Residual Value: Beyond deployment, our shelters continue to serve, capable of reconditioning and multiple redeployments, maximising the return on investment.
