Entry #676830958
Between the Sheets Between the Sheets uses materials native to the site to provide resident students of the Rural Arts Center with a passively cooled dorm to sleep after their days of learning. The exterior walls are constructed of poured earth to allow for privacy and seclusion, but their connection to the thatch roof creates apertures between the two to allow for adequate light and ventilation. The dorm acts as both a secure place for the students to sleep and as a communal space to gather and mingle after the day is over: the sleep areas frame a central gathering area encased in a mud brick screen. The form nestles the shower areas between two “sheets” and the roof structures work to collect rainwater for the shower area.In Senegal, where there are concerns with waste and pollution the dorm uses recycled materials wherever possible. Glass bottles are placed in the walls to provide filtered light while maintaining privacy. A nook for each student will be formed in the wall using recycled tires. All of these attributes define Between the Sheets to create a comfortable sheltered space for the students to gather that they can call home. Budget: Poured Earth Walls: $4,285 Framing for Walls: $100 Mud Brick Walls: $300 Heavy Lumber: $300 Foundation: $1500 Thatch Roof: $2000 Labor: $1500
Total: $9,985
