About InterShelter
What has the strength of a building, the portability of a tent, and the potential to revolutionize the business of emergency relief? According to fourth-generation Alaskan Don Kubley, the InterShelter is it.
Kubley’s innovative igloo-like structure, which can be assembled by two people in less than four hours and disassembled in 20 minutes, can withstand hurricane-force winds, sub-zero temperatures and extreme heat. The InterShelter can be configured to comfortably house as many as six people and promises to serve as an efficient, cost-effective alternative to the trailers typically deployed by emergency response teams in the wake of a disaster. The price of the dome ranges from $7,000 to $12,500, depending on its features.
But the appeal of the InterShelter stretches beyond its use as temporary housing. Kubley sees uses for his dome as a retail space, a professional office and even a public restroom.
For Kubley, the possibilities are endless.
“There’s a million uses,” he said.
