The architect Rizvi Hassan used [bamboo as the primary material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-living-bridge) for the construction. The project is titled 'Beyond Survival: A Safe Space for Rohingya Women and Girls.' The structure consists of rooms situated in an oval shelter and a [circular courtyard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juna) that is sheltered from the outside, yet has an open roof. Dwellers of this shelter can access various helpful resources such as "[private spaces for counseling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anduhyaun-emergency-shelter) [and] refuge case management meetings." In addition, the shelter lends itself as a place for groups to gather, socialize, and join various skill development workshops.
