Production Technology

This is where POD Structures came in with Tubelar®️ technology, a unique construction innovation that allows an entire family unit to be built in just four hours, by as few as four people, using just one allen key! Also, completely customisable, sustainable, modular, full facility and green. It can be mass–produced with a minimum of materials and is easily stockpiled, making it a versatile emergency–shelter unit.

Design Challenge

The biggest challenge of this project is the cost price of the modular unit and the positivity of offside construction must be possible at premises to reduce high labour and transport cost to fabricate one unit in Singapore.

Project Duration

ALL YOU NEED IS JUST: 1 ALLEN KEY That's all it takes to put an entire DOONYA SHOP+HOME together, when power tools are unavailable. 4 PEOPLE An entire home can be assembled by just 4 people, with no special skills required. 8 HOURS We can build a home from scratch in the same duration. Anywhere or impoverished urban areas • informal settlements • disaster relief • war zones • low-cost housing projects • refugee camps • rapid deployment shelters.

Operation Flow

Built with Tubelar® infrastructure technology, DOONYA is a smart SHOP+HOME with groundbreaking features with 1) No eviction An in-situ upgrade; ensures slum dwellers are not displaced 2) Transient Homes Not permanent, hence no land titles are required 3) Flat-packed Pre-packaged, therefore no lengthy waits, no quality cuts, no paperwork 4) Expandable From tiny shelters to family homes, these structures can be increased as the family grows

Inspiration

DOONYA, which means ‘world’ in more than a dozen languages, is a Shop+Home that is both a living and livelihood solution for the very poor. A Singapore-developed community service project that merges design with engineering and technology. Its sole objective is to provide a solution to the forthcoming urbanisation crisis by offering environment friendly, integrated, transient, fully-serviced and durable maker-pod-homes to those living in urban slums, war zones & densely populated cities.
