WEAZER Maison

Emergency Refuge—A Critical Advantage

WEAZER’s strengths are well known: functioning without infrastructure, environmental sustainability, installation in remote locations.

Yet another defining capability: serving as emergency refuge during disasters.

By self-generating energy and water, WEAZER can sustain life when external systems fail.

Typhoons. Earthquakes. Infrastructure damage.
As long as the building remains structurally intact, it can supply energy and water indefinitely.

WEAZER Nishi-Izu — the first installation — is designated by Izu City as an official evacuation site.

This capability transforms WEAZER from luxury accommodation into critical disaster infrastructure.

Urban Application: Condominium Resilience

The concept: transforming a shared space within an apartment complex into an off-grid emergency shelter.

ARTH’s off-grid technologies — electricity, water, management software — integrated into a single condominium unit.

In Tokyo and other major cities, resilience against disasters is critical. The threat of a major earthquake beneath the capital. Secondary disasters. Infrastructure collapse.

For apartment complexes and condominiums, strengthening resilience has become a priority.

Dual-Use Model: Daily and Emergency

WEAZER’s off-grid technology enables:
Emergency power supply.
Climate control (heating and cooling).
Hot water and living water—even in crisis.

Under normal conditions: integrated with grid power and municipal water, operating efficiently, reducing environmental footprint.

During emergencies: complete autonomy. A lifeline for residents.

This dual-use model enhances the entire condominium’s value — combining daily sustainability with crisis preparedness.
