HHEAL CONCEPT
HHEAL WORK
This peace village was designed as a sustainable
organism for children and their families. Being
in one of the hottest regions on the globe, we
implemented a number of green design strategies.
The essence of the design integrates basic elements
of sustainable architecture, community, and creativity.
The gathering spaces [peace garden,reflecting pool,
courtyards] nurture community. The buildings, made
of simple packed mud construction, provide blank
canvases for mural making... and 'peace' flags in
the form of fabric shading.
