Enfold - The flexible wall system for homeless shelters

Sammanfattning: Safety, privacy and comfort are elements that need to be improved on Swedish shelters. Since several homeless individuals often share bedrooms, it is not uncommon for them to be exposed to violence, harassment and theft or a generally disturbing environment during their stay. These are all contributing factors to an increased difficulty in getting out of homelessness. Enfold is a flexible wall system that creates a small room around the bed. It gives the user the opportunity to decide over his/her own personal space, close and lock the space behind in need to be alone and store personal belongings inside. With inspiration taken from the Housing First concept, which has proven to be an effective method in combating homelessness, perhaps Enfold can provide a similar result.
