According to the architect the refuge for Hodei Studio is the first in a network of shelters to be established in a protected area of olive groves in Tarragona, Spain.<\/p>\n
They used several camouflaging strategies for the refuge. The walls are a mixture of lime, water, and earth, while the openings are covered with metal sheets that imitate natural stone.<\/p>\n
Stepping inside the shelter, a main chamber on the ground floor is 2.7 by 9 meters (9 ft. by 30 ft.), expanding through a series of underground galleries that serve as water, food, energy, and waste storage.<\/p>\n
Complementing these features are two bedrooms (one downstairs and one upstairs).<\/p>\n
They say, \u201cOur Refugio does not have doors, it has curtains, which allow us to feel and see the fluidity of the space through the wind.\u201c<\/em>
