The Orchard School| Kigali |School

Orchard turns the Dental Center into a public space which breaks away from the prejudice one has before visiting a clinic. It aims to develop into a place where children come to play instead of just visiting it when they need treatment. The simplest way to ease the treatment of morbidity cases for an NGO is to bring the patients to its doorstep. The building aims to transform into a landmark for the city and its courtyards, the origin of change. The design is guided by the local topography and climate conditions, the existing pathways and the orchard-like atmosphere of the plot. The layout is based on the location between the school and football field, establishing HOPE Dental Center as a meeting space in-between the two.
