Shelter Mk 2

MADDEL Mk.2 Shelter. Full size prototype at Corex, Melbourne.In response to the Shelter Centre's Transitional Shelter Standards Document 2009, MADDEL designed a second shelter that retained the benefits of the Mk.1, and also complied with the Standards set.

The Mk.2 Transitional Shelter is based on a common unit module that is joined together in clusters of 4, 5 or 6 units. The Triangular awning roof-panel extending from the rear of each unit forms a join with the awning roof-panels of adjoining units, creating a covered common area. As more units are added, the roof pitch of the covered area reduces, and the floor area increases.

MADDEL moved away from card-board as a material, and developed the design using Polypropylene core-flute board.  Whilst recycled cardboard was attractive for it's environmental benefits, it was too heavy and required a more complex manufacturing process, which presented disadvantages in terms logistics and manufacturing output volumes.

The Polypropylene shelters are;MADDEL Mk.2 Transitional Shelter. Cutaway view. Click to view animation.
