Architect
Studio PHH Architects
Location
Ganthier, Haiti
Year
2020

By considering and unifying the site planning, architecture, landscape and phasing of the project, Studio PHH Architects were able to leverage the entirety of the site while producing a cohesive proposal based on local building materials and construction techniques.

"The courtyard", surrounded equally by the existing trees as with the floating corrugated metal roof of the school, produces a continuous ring which circumscribes the outdoor central space simultaneously providing privacy and safety for the students.

Working hand in hand with the non-profit organization Konekte, this pre-K through 12 school provides opportunities for hundreds of children to receive an education which is their only chance of ensuring their future. This phased project provides opportunities for a newly founded school near Port-Au-Prince to become, as their name indicates, a reference for other schools to aspire to.
