PROPOSAL

Timeabu Kindergarten, situated in the heart of rural Ghana, in a small village called Timeabu, which is in the Ashanti region in the center of Ghana, is our visionary architectural project that redefines the kindergarten concept. It transcends mere infrastructure to create an eco-conscious haven for early childhood development.
Spanning on 1185m², the design seamlessly integrates three classrooms with sustainable features, harmonizing with vibrant recreational spaces. A playground, gardening areas, and a shaded pavilion showcase our commitment to multifaceted learning experiences, blending education with environmental responsibility. Rooted in community and sustainability, this kindergarten blueprint aspires to cultivate holistic growth and creativity while exemplifying our dedication to a greener future for the village's youngest minds.

The project consists of playground, gardening areas, and three units, each one resembling the traditional Ghanaian village house, with a pavilion permeating through them. The pavilion features three central supporting columns branching out, like the Baobab tree that is often referred to as the 'tree of life,' holding great cultural significance in Ghanaian culture.

The units are structured with bamboo, a common material abundant in Ghana. Inspired by the Baobab tree, bamboo columns and beams, joists, and studs form
a unique branching design. Wood shutters, cob walls, and earth bricks create a blend of natural materials, ensuring structural integrity and cultural resonance.
This design harmonizes traditional aesthetics with eco-friendly practices, promoting both local identity and environmental sustainability.
This innovative architectural project in Ghana utilizes bamboo, a locally abundant material, inspired by the Baobab tree's branching design. Incorporating traditional techniques such as wood shutters, cob walls, and earth bricks, the structures blend natural materials for both cultural resonance and structural integrity. The interior design prioritizes natural light through strategically placed openings and wood shutters, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Additionally, the bamboo's unique branching design enhances the play of light and shadow. The project emphasizes eco-friendly practices and local identity, integrating natural ventilation for a sustainable and comfortable living environment.

STRUCTURE
Proposal adopts sustainable approaches, incorporating elements like green spaces, eco-friendly architecture, and employing strategies for sustainability such as the use of locally sourced materials—such as bamboo wood, corrugated metal sheets, and compressed earth brick. Additionally, passive ventilation, achieved through the implementation of stack effect ventilation across all three units, is a key feature. The overarching goal of these initiatives is to advance environmental, social, and economic well-being, with a commitment to diminishing resource depletion and nurturing a more robust environment for present and future generations.
