The hurricane time of year cometh , and the DH1 Disaster House is one man ’s solution to the job of homelessness — only problem is that it costs and fortify and a leg — and that is usually not an option if you have lost everything to one of Nature ’s bad humour .
Designed by Californian designer Gregg Fleishman , the DH1 comes in flatpack form and you do n’t even need nail to put it together . Slot the portion , made of European birch plywood , together and — voil ! instant dwelling .
The DH1 ’s structural floor cleverly sits 30 inches off the earth ( anyone rich who is still recovering from this class ’s Glastonbury trauma , put the DH1 on next class ’s shopping list ) , so no unsightly oozing from underneath .
There are several drawback , though — first , the price of $ 22,000 would be beyond the reach of most catastrophe dupe . If biblical rains surveil the disaster , then you ’re live to get wet , unless you have a canvas or plastic sail — and a big one — to hand . Third — and do n’t bad things always descend in threes?—a eminent twist may mean you wake up up to find you ’re not in Kansas any more , Dorothy , unless you were smart and moored your DH1 four way to a concrete cube .
