PRECEDENT STUDIES

Viveda Wellnes Retreat

The project’s second goal was to learn about and incorporate building practices from the Beze hamlet and nearby communities. Houses in this region are often built with a stone base, timber structure, brick or mud walls, and clay pot tiles for roofing. Construction, like most other activities, is viewed as a cooperative collection of activities involving the exchange of skills, labor, and materials.

Butaro Doctors Housing

Four two-bedroom residences have been built on a terraced hillside about five minutes’ walk from the hospital. By focusing on creative, earthquake-safe, and sustainable procedures that use local resources, the project serves as an example of high-quality building.
