A meeting with the N.G.O founders fostered the idea of designing an anti-seismic building for the children, that could also serve as a resource (haven) to help them feel welcome and part of a family again.

The N.G.O wanted a space that would be easy to control, in which the children could sleep and carry out their daily activities.
