Two innovative designs — one mission
Transport.
Protect.
Expand.
A mobile shelter. A new beginning. Transport your pet during the day — expand into a safe, comfortable shelter at night.
Ventilated, secure compartment with visibility.
100W panel with lithium storage.
Designed for dignity, together.
Design & Build — Transport. Protect. Expand.
A detailed rendering of the day-to-night transformation steps and shared features that inform the production build.
Two reference concepts. One final Oasis V0.
We explored two distinct designs, then merged their strongest features into a single combined prototype.
Exploring maneuverability and fast deployment.
- Compact Footprint
- Quick Deployment
- Easy Push Handle
- Better Urban Mobility
Exploring storage, protection and stability.
- More Storage
- Weather Protection
- Protected Pet Compartment
- Trail Stability
Merging the strongest features from both concepts.
- Compact Footprint
- Secure Storage
- Integrated Cooling
- Solar Powered
- One-Person Setup
Day-to-night transformation in five easy steps.
Tool-free deployment designed for one person to set up in minutes.
Release latches and unfold components.
Swing out side panels until locked.
Lift roof using gas struts until locked in place.
Pull out floor platform and ramp.
Add bedding, storage pockets and privacy curtains.
Built for the heat. Ready for the trail.
Air enters low and exits high for continuous airflow.
Reduces heat gain while generating power.
Fans and optional misting improve comfort when conditions allow.
Dedicated space for water and essentials.
Where the project stands today.
- Foundation Established
- Patent Application Filed
- Prototype Components Purchased
- MGM Engineering Build
- Prototype Testing
- Design Refinement
- Oasis V1
- Community Pilot Program
- Production Model
What makes the design protectable.
- Dual-mode mobile shelter system (transport & expandable shelter)
- Integrated pet compartment with ventilation & visibility
- Solar-powered energy system with storage
- Tool-free, quick-deploy expansion mechanism
- Modular, fold-out wall and roof panels
- All-terrain push and pull cart design
- Privacy, security & weather protection
Norah's Ark is more than a shelter — it's a new beginning.
Every part specified, sourced, and tested.
Lightweight, durable, corrosion-resistant.
Insulated, weather resistant.
Supported by gas struts.
Non-slip, fold-out platform.
Flexible panel charges while you move.
Powers lights, fans and USB ports.
Inverter with multiple outputs.
With vent covers for airflow.
Secure, ventilated, with viewing window.
Interior organization for essentials.
From concept to real-world impact.
A six-phase build path — roughly 14 to 20 weeks from finalized design to field-validated prototype.
| Phase | Focus | Key Activities | Est. Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Concept & Design | Finalize design, CAD models, material selection. User feedback, engineering evaluation. | 2–3 weeks |
| 2 | Materials & Sourcing | Source components & materials. Confirm vendors & pricing. | 2–4 weeks |
| 3 | Frame & Shell Build | Build chassis & frame. Fabricate panels & roof system. | 3–4 weeks |
| 4 | Systems Installation | Install solar, battery, wiring, fan, lights. Test electrical systems. | 2–3 weeks |
| 5 | Interior & Comfort | Interior build-out, storage, bedding platform. Privacy curtains & pet compartment. | 2–3 weeks |
| 6 | Testing & Refinement | Field testing (mobility, weather, usability). Refine & validate for real-world use. | 2–3 weeks |
Built with purpose. Designed for dignity.
