The project proposes the shelter for the new type of social space to replace traditional tents at Mt. Everest which also can value the lives of locals by using natural materials as building envelopes. The Everest and local villages have the issue of hiking tourism causing environmental stress. The project responds to issues by offering local structures by indigenous material and engaging them to self-build for the new Everest habitat. The shelter is composed of readily manufactured and prefabricated timber elements for less impact on the ground and the spaces based on climate and geography. It offers a reduced construction time and less carbon consumption with easily deployable materials by porters and yak.
