Our design looks to favors comfort and conviviality in a school dormitory for 5O students. All our bedrooms give onto the common patio, the heart of this project, synonym of sharing and security. Our design fit perfectly in the local architecture of the Ashanti region by taking over their ecological materials and economical technics. The dormitory is divided in three: the outside walkway slightly raised, the bedrooms and the patio.
The patio is constituted of a walkway, for students to enjoy the outside without suffering from the sun. It is also covered with strip of wood to create shadows, there is bench for student who want to get together and hammock for those who which to sleep under the stars. We can only access this patio by the students’ room, this is their own relaxing space. The bedrooms for four students are conceived with two bunk bed, two wardrobes and two bid desk giving onto the patio, to work face to nature.
Our project only uses local materials such as clay earth or accacia’s wood. We chose compressed earth block walls, cover with earth coating, for its low price and ease of use, the high part of this wall are composed of openings. We thought a lot the design of our roof and ventilation system, the fresh air is coming by the openings, windows and doors and the hot one is getting out thanks to a zenithal opening, covered with mosquito net. We tried to use mainly local material to have low cost.
