R-BUILD
‘Refuge-Build’ is a subpart of our practice that specialises in designing adaptable, environmentally friendly, and pleasant refuges for those within society who need it most.
​
Working alongside the respective charities and local authorities we aim to curate safe places for vulnerable members of society, for example victims of domestic abuse, refugees, and the Homeless. Our R-Build micro-homes act as an emergency and temporary housing for those in crisis. The units come in 3 variations, The R-Build for 1 person, 2 people and lastly for a small family of 3-4 people, each unit coming with a respective basic fit-out.
​
​
With our R-Build projects we pledge to meet the Sustainable Development Goals set out by the UN:
​
· Goal 12 - Responsible Consumption & Production. By achieving Net Zero Carbon Emissions in all R-Build projects, harnessing modular construction and low embodied carbon materials whilst also ensuring the unit it can be disassembled and recycled at the end of its lifetime.
​
· Goal 5 – Achieving Gender Equality. As a result of the pandemic domestic abuse cases and violence against women and children is rising. By working with the relevant charities, we aim to curate safe refuges for people and families in danger.
​
· Goal 10 – Reduce Inequality. By working with the relevant charities, we aim to tackle the homelessness epidemic in Britain by curating safe temporary housing for the Homeless and those in extreme financial hardship. In addition, our R-Build projects aim to ease the introduction into society for both refugees and asylum seekers by providing emergency and temporary housing respectively, giving them the start and support they need.
At Studio Neom, we believe everyone, no matter the circumstances, deserves the basic human needs of shelter and comfort.
