This temporary shelter located in Muara Angke, North Jakarta. This area floods often because of rob. Land level in this area close to the sea surface level. This building accommodates citizens in Muara Angke to stay temporarily during the renovation of this area. The big idea of the existence of this building is to be a temporary shelter and a precedent to the future house in this area all at once.

Used shipping containers were used as the main module, support with steel structure, and scaffolding as a circulation module. Because this building is temporary, used material was chosen and the basic form is modular so when this building wasn’t used anymore, the demolition process can be easy. Vegetations and the wooden facade were used to block the rain and sun because the main problem with shipping containers is the hot interior.

This building is raised one floor so the ground floor can be used as a water catchment area. Furthermore, this kind of building can be implemented for their new house, remember they live in a flood area. The modular form can be built in many areas, depends on how much they need the space.
