A Norman invents a low-cost house for the homeless
AP - A Norman has just designed a house for the homeless, a module of barely ten square meters built with recycled materials and whose unit cost does not exceed 800 euros.
This primitive habitat enthusiast who lives in Roumare (Seine-Maritime) worked several weeks to design this house for homeless people, a module measuring 4,8 m by 1,3. "I'm fed up with seeing people sleeping under boxes or under a porch, especially at this time, with this cold", explains Philippe Debruyne before adding: "So I wanted this home for them, it is still better than a camping tent! "
Four walls and a roof made of wood and recuperated materials, a form that allows to recover a maximum of light and therefore of heat, here is for the plan of this house of a little more than 8 square meters "where one can live and sleep with two".
The insulation is made of newsprint, supermarket bags and plastic bottles, and the floor, such as the roof or walls, is made from scrap wood. Electricity is produced by a solar panel.
The cost of this house, which can easily be moved with the help of a forklift, is less than 800 euros. "But if manufacturers are interested in this project, I give them the plans and built on a large scale, this house can be much cheaper," he says. AP
