Arkitekteruten Grenser, Architectopia, and Jan Kazimierz Godzimirski collaborated to design two classrooms for Eco Moyo Education Centre.Local resources were key in informing the design, ensuring the building contributed to the localized society and economy, through collaboration with local tradespeople.

The design consists of horizontal surfaces framed by opaque screens that define the space. The formation of an open plan enables flexibility between teaching, storytelling, and play.

In utilizing raw materials and hand assembly the building reduced embodied emissions in the construction process. The roof form encourages rainwater collection, contributing to the school’s future resilience to climatic change.

Material Used:

1. Facade cladding- Makuti

2. Flooring- Nero screed

3. Roofing- Corrugted metal
