Kao La Amani Children’s Village / Article 25

Completed in 2023 in Boma Ng'ombe, Tanzania. Images by Paulina-Shari Stanley, Toby Pear. Article 25 have completed Phase 1 of an ‘off-grid’

"The design responds to the climate by providing generous overhangs to protect from sun and heavy rains. Courtyards at the center of the cottages enable cross ventilation to all the dorms and living spaces. The butterfly roof of the dining block shades a series of external spaces – dining terrace, laundry area, and a gathering porch outside the kitchen – and allows cross ventilation as well as dual or triple aspect internal spaces.

The village is designed to be highly sustainable and is operable entirely ‘off-grid’. All power is generated using solar PV panels, all water is provided by a borehole on site and then heated using solar hot water heaters, and the waste is filtered via septic tanks and a constructed wetland. These sustainability features allow the village to run at minimal costs while protecting its natural resources and ensuring the Children’s Village will continue to provide to children in this area for decades to come."

Milguaduas House / ritmo arquitectos

Completed in 2021 in Pereira, Colombia. Images by Yeferson Bernal, Juan David Toro. Surrounded by a native guadua forest, Milguaduas strives to belong to its environment and fit seamlessly in a descending terrain. The house goes...

“ Milguaduas draws on natural resources to foster a sustainable environment in materials as well as its layout, thus reducing its environmental and energetic impact. The design selects exclusively five materials as its language: locally sourced guadua bamboo, pristine white walls, poured concrete, welded black metal, and baked clay. In their purity, the materials have a monochrome and texture-rich tone. By establishing independence between roof and cladding, as well as in the gable roof and habitable roofing being dislocated, the interiors avail themselves of natural light and ventilation. This displacement is mirrored by arranging a layered descent adhering to the terrain, where rooms are laid out downwards while enabling areas for lingering. The habitable roofing acts as a canal for rainwater harvesting, lying between the traditional clay gable roof which draws a frame enclosing the forest. This plate, as well as the sculptural folded staircase that leads to it, gives off a breath of modernity among traditional archetypes”
