Modular Rehab Center for Haiti

A prefabricated post-earthquake healthcare facility designed for single-container shipping. (Part of MArch)

Daniel Voshart ·

A modular rehab centre that could be efficiently loaded into a shipping container.

Manufacturing is simplified by the use of only three exterior wall modules, four different window modules and one door module.

The form follows a 2.2 meter grid. This dimension accommodates three main factors:

  1. Shipping container width
  2. Doorway height
  3. Hallway width
