ABOUT THE TENT

Dimensions: 20 ft x 20 ft
Total Area: 400 Sq. Ft.
Peak Height: 17 Ft

Designed by the Canadian company Tentnology, this model has been extensively used in refugee camps in Afghanistan and other relief sites around the world to provide temporary emergency shelter for refugees. The tent has been engineered for extreme weather conditions.

The tent will be located on a tall hill in Fire Valley. Even though the tent site itself is particularly undeveloped and raw and can easily reference landscapes in other semi arid corners of the world, the view from the project site will bring you back to the suburban utopia and its planned subdivisions.
