DSH VOLUNTEER HOUSING
Updated: 2 days ago
Accommodation facilities for volunteers at Desert Stars, Kenya, are now available for evaluation. The invitation is hereby extended to those interested in participating in the forthcoming phase of DSH. The objective of this project is to develop an architectural language that engages with the nomadic housing of the Gabra people and translates it into a contemporary language. This will provide accommodation for students, staff and volunteers on site. A year was spent researching the most appropriate combination of materials and economic constraints to create a remarkable accommodation that attracts both local and international visitors. It is our hope that these visitors will support the project and feel at ease in a harsh environment, where precipitation is only 150-200mm/year.
