KALA REKA is a modular, upcycled emergency shelter system responding to recurring flood disasters in Aceh, Indonesia. Using drifted timber and sediment mud — materials left behind by floods — it transforms disaster debris into dignified dwellings. The 3×3m modular units can expand from single-person to extended family configurations, assembled without wet cement or heavy equipment. Integrated rainwater harvesting, solar panels, and hydroponic eaves ensure off-grid self-sufficiency. A circular, community-driven response to the cycle of destruction.
