Darling Home for Kids
Institutional
Our work on this project involved designing a hospice and respite facility for chronically and terminally-ill children. The site is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and as such, it was critical that the design tread lightly on the land. This building embodies strong principles of sustainable design and construction, including: water and energy conservation, daylighting strategies, passive solar energy, the incorporation of recycled materials and, of utmost importance, creating a healthy indoor air environment.This project has been featured in the following publications:
