Sentinel modular housing for regional and elevated shelter solutions

DS3-Global is assessing Sentinel modular shelter options for Nepal, building on lessons from the Bangladesh deployment in the Rohingya camps. The Nepal pathway is focused on regional housing solutions suited to terrain, climate and community needs. Both ground-based and elevated models are being assessed. Potential applications include:

• regional housing support;
• elevated shelter models;
• ground-based Sentinel configurations;
• modular adaptation to terrain;
• disaster-prone community support;
• field-informed design based on Bangladesh evidence.

The same characteristics that proved important in Bangladesh — modularity, repairability, adaptability, speed of installation and long-term asset thinking — are directly relevant to Nepal’s regional and terrain-sensitive shelter needs. For Nepal, Sentinel’s modularity creates a pathway for regional shelter solutions that can adapt to terrain, climate and community need.
