Halo bubble is a visionary project in temporary, mobile architecture, designed for rapid deployment and ease of transport in emergencies and transitional settings. Utilizing a lightweight post-and-cable framework, the structure enables quick assembly, minimal material use, and adaptability to diverse environments.



A defining feature of the design is its interaction with light. By day, the translucent canopy maximizes natural illumination, reducing energy reliance. At night, integrated lighting transforms the shelter into a glowing beacon, providing visibility and guidance in emergency scenarios.



The shelter’s organic, fluid geometry showcases an efficient structural approach, balancing stability and elegance while maintaining a minimal environmental footprint. Its modular system allows for easy expansion or reconfiguration, making it a versatile solution for disaster relief, field operations, or temporary housing.



Built for durability and reusability, the shelter is weather-resistant, low-maintenance, and fully relocatable, aligning with sustainable design principles. By pushing the boundaries of lightweight, mobile architecture, Halo bubble presents a scalable and future-forward approach to temporary structures, offering a functional, aesthetic, and environmentally responsible solution for rapidly changing environments.
