Solution Overview & Benefits

The Pallet House by I-Beam Design is a sustainable and affordable housing solution made from recycled shipping pallets. Initially designed for refugees, it is easy to assemble, adaptable, and can be insulated for different climates. This house design addresses urgent shelter needs in disaster or displacement scenarios, using materials that are globally available and inexpensive.

  • Sustainability: Built with recycled pallets.
  • Scalability: Can be expanded or modified as needed.
  • Ease of Construction: Simple, DIY assembly.
