In the rural outskirts of Kuakata, a coastal town in southern Bangladesh, life is governed by seasonal extremes. Cyclones and monsoon floods arrive with regular intensity, making this one of the most exposed and vulnerable regions in the country. The terrain in Kuakata is shaped by the scars of these environmental hazards\u2014eroded walkways suspended above the floodplain, gnarled remains of mangroves along the shoreline twisted by violent tides, and makeshift houses with tarpaulin walls dotted across the massive levee that spans the coastal perimeter. For the people here\u2014mainly fishermen and subsistence farmers\u2014survival depends heavily on land and sea, which are growing increasingly volatile with climate change. Most of them cannot afford to build structurally resilient homes, leaving them dependent on nearby storm shelters, schools, or government buildings. But in this unpredictable landscape, some local groups are slowly redefining what a shelter can be.<\/p><p>We tend to think of disaster shelters in terms of function: strong, simple, and utilitarian. Distinctiveness and identity are often treated as luxuries in the face of survival. But in practice, refuge depends on more than structural safety. A building that people do not recognise or feel connected to is a building they may not turn to in time when disaster strikes. In this sense, safety is inseparable from familiarity. Standing out in the surrounding landscape is part of what actually makes a shelter work.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-332cb2f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"332cb2f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/thefutureatlas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Friendship-Shelter-1-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6674\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefutureatlas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Friendship-Shelter-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thefutureatlas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Friendship-Shelter-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thefutureatlas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Friendship-Shelter-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thefutureatlas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Friendship-Shelter-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thefutureatlas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Friendship-Shelter-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/thefutureatlas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Friendship-Shelter-1-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">The Friendship cyclone shelter in Kuakata stands apart in the landscape as a visible point of refuge.

This strong, rectangular mass wrapped in a spiralized, geometric ribbon of concrete is markedly distinct from other nearby shelters. Its pronounced, angular shape can be identified from hundreds of metres away across the vast fields of rice and sunflowers that surround it. Since its construction in 2018, it has sheltered thousands of people, goods, and even cattle during storms. For those living in fragile wooden houses, access to this place can mean the difference between life and death. As the local gatekeeper explains, \u201cThose who have good homes don\u2019t come.

People in surrounding villages know it by name, and they know where it stands on the hill. Its only wayfinding device is a faded metal poster standing on the roadside in front of the structure. But this building needs no signage\u2014it is a beacon in and of itself. In moments of chaos, there is no hesitation about where to go because the place is known. This kind of recognition is so important because it shapes the behaviour of the users. A place that is visible, distinct, and embedded in the local discourse becomes part of the social fabric, making it easier to trust and easier to reach.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-564e282 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"564e282\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/thefutureatlas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Cyclone-House-Kuakata-1-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6678\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefutureatlas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Cyclone-House-Kuakata-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thefutureatlas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Cyclone-House-Kuakata-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thefutureatlas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Cyclone-House-Kuakata-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thefutureatlas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Cyclone-House-Kuakata-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thefutureatlas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Cyclone-House-Kuakata-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/thefutureatlas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Cyclone-House-Kuakata-1-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">The raised A-frame house was designed to withstand floods and storms while remaining familiar to daily life.

Tucked away in the centre of one of the most economically vulnerable communities, this house sits as a prized centrepiece. It has an A-frame form which helps reduce wind resistance and increases structural stability, while an elevated base minimizes flood risk. While being of similar size and stature to the typical local home, the form of the building is certainly more striking. The project was developed with close attention to local context and acceptance. Rather than imposing a slightly unfamiliar design with no explanation, their project began instead with participation. Architect Hossenur Rahman Juwel describes a process of workshops, conversations, and collaboration. \u201cLocal craftsmen were involved in the construction process, which helped ensure that the design remained practical, appropriate, and easy to replicate using familiar techniques.\u201d When a new design was introduced to the community, they wanted to assure a level of comfort amongst the people\u2014if the building was too alien, they ran the risk of it being neglected. It needed to be innovative while also blending in with its environment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0b85255 elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"0b85255\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\u201cLocal craftsmen were involved in the construction process, which helped ensure that the design remained practical, appropriate, and easy to replicate using familiar techniques.\u201d\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f9d94fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f9d94fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/thefutureatlas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IRMP-41-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6682\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefutureatlas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IRMP-41-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thefutureatlas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IRMP-41-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thefutureatlas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IRMP-41-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thefutureatlas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IRMP-41-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thefutureatlas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IRMP-41-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/thefutureatlas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/IRMP-41-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Community discussion during the design process helped shape a house that residents could recognise and accept.

Not only has this A-frame home succeeded in safely withstanding storms, but it has also drawn interest in the village for its distinctive design. The family that resides here is eager to show it off\u2014their disposition similar to the gatekeeper of the nearby cyclone shelter. Children play and hang from the wooden frame while women hang colourful laundry lines like decorative ornaments from the roof beams.
