Brief:

Destitute children require a healthier, interactive and natural space to heal from their trauma. The site is adjacent to a waterbody, hence a cooler microclimate is created in the planning by inviting water within the structure. Interactive spaces are created at varying levels of the mass for the kids to learn and grow together. Rooms are placed such that each room has a clear view of the lake, allowing wind flow.
