Urko Sanchez Architects builds miniature walled city for orphans
Urko Sanchez Architects has designed a concrete compound in Djibouti for the charity SOS Children's Villages International as a home for vulnerable children.
The project, which completed in 2014, has been nominated for the 2019 Aga Khan Award for Architecture
The compound was constructed using a reinforced concrete structure, infilled with precast concrete blocks and coated with a pale Cemcrete finish to help reflect harsh sunlight. The large cluster of buildings consists of fifteen separate homes, each with room for ten children, along with additional units for staff, services, and a home for the centre's director.
