Mediagua is the name given in Chile to a type of prefabricated house, constructed of wood panels, which can be erected in less than a day. The traditional model has an area of 18 square metres (190 sq ft).
They are traditionally used to provide emergency housing solutions after natural disasters, or to give an inexpensive house to homeless people. However, because they are designed as temporary solutions are commonly installed without sanitation or electricity, but often they become permanent homes.
