Just like the mango tree, so prevalent in the Haitian landscape, Maison Canopy rises over the land, to offer protection from the elements, the city, and the stigma of living with AIDS. This sanctuary offers a place to heal the body and spirit. Beneath the protective canopy of the main roof, the house lies in the shade and offers a cool and fresh place in which to reconnect with the prospects of a new future. The open plan of this home creates a protected yet open place from which to engage new neighbors and build friendships that will last a life time.

Maison Canopy [canopy house]

Design Descriptive

Design Intent

Just like the mango tree, so prevalent in Haiti, maison canopy rises over the land, to offer protection from the elements, the city, and the stigma of living with AIDS. The design hopes to provide a healthy environment that not only provides the basic shelter of a clean, dry and cool place to live, but that also minimizes the transmission of tuberculosis, one of the leading illnesses among people with AIDS in Haiti. By deconstructing the house elements of roof, floor and room, the design maximizes natural ventilation to eliminate stagnant air, mold and humidity.

The main roof, like the canopy of a mango tree, is the primary component. Beneath the roof, the house elements lie in the cool ventilated shade. The canopy also helps to create an outdoor place for cooking, the lakou, which is rooted in Haitian culture. Conceptual Goals

This suburban sanctuary at Bois L’Etat offers the Person Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), a place to heal and learn. The open plan of this home offers them a sheltered place to engage new neighbors and build friendships that will last a life time. That is why the site is arranged so the lakous of every four units are in direct view of each other.

The simple yet effective construction techniques of this design can teach the local workers and the future resident’s new ways in which to deal with their harsh environment. We believe that this solution can be replicated across Haiti and provide simple quick shelter to many that live without, and is flexible enough that can be adapted and reshaped to meet specific family or cultural needs.

Health Influence of Project Proposal

Staying healthy is an important concern for anyone. In Haiti the lack of jobs, food, and adequate housing can make this simple human concern seem almost impossible. But for the PLWHA, the job is more critical as they battle the ravages of illnesses they do not have the resources to combat. Even before the earthquake when medicine and other social services were available through organizations such as FEBS, they lacked adequate housing and basic necessities that many outside Haiti take for granted. This lack of adequate housing increases the spread of various diseases, especially tuberculosis (TB). According to researchers1 TB is mainly transmitted in poor countries due to inadequate living conditions. Overcrowding, dark and damp rooms that increase mold grow, and lack of ventilation, are the key factors in the spread of this disease. In order to prevent these problems, the canopy house addresses sanitation at various levels.

• Adequate Ventilation: Pulling the house elements apart and providing an opening (window or door) on each wall, increases natural cross ventilation. Besides naturally cooling the house, this concept increases air circulation rates that eliminate high

concentrations of airborne infectious particles and thus minimizes the spread of TB. The cooking area has also been pulled towards the corner not only to keep heat outdoors but to keep any fumes in a well vented space. The residential units are also spaced out on site to minimize the spread of disease between units.

• Natural Light: Openings on every wall also maximize natural daylight, eliminating the need of electricity during the day, and helping to minimize the growth of mold inside the units.2

• Overcrowding: The units can be size according to family needs, easily allowing the

addition of rooms for a growing family after the main roof is in place. • Water: A rain water catchment system and ground water (if available) are the

sources of potable water. A simple filtration system attached to the potable water tank ensures the collected water is clean. Additionally if ground water is available, water can be piped to the core of each residence. A secondary water tank is located on the garden side for agricultural purposes. Each water tank also has an external water valve for other uses such as laundry and other house cleaning chores.

• Sanitation: The design calls for the use of compost toilets for black water and the separate piping of gray water (from sinks and bathtubs). Gray water is then gravity fed towards the garden and used for plant irrigation. The compost toilet holds a separate tank for the treatment of effluents that creates compost material that can be used as fertilizer in the garden.

• Hygiene: The design provides for two toilet rooms, one of them containing a bathtub, toilet and sink. The secondary bathroom houses a shower, toilet and sink for the children or other adults. In case of lack of water pressure at least one bathroom can be use for bathing at any time. The project also calls for cement plaster on the interior of all living units. By utilizing mold resistant stucco, the units can be kept clean and free from any issues. For economy purposes the exterior of the units can be painted with an elastomeric paint to prevent moisture to penetrate the block wall. If budget allows both sides could received stucco and finish with paint. This will provide the easiest way to keep the walls clean.

• Electricity: A small solar power array can accommodate a small refrigerator to keep necessary medicines and other perishable goods.

• Trash Removal: In the absence of municipal trash collection, a central location is provided on site for compost and allow for collection of other items that can be re-utilized on site (such as plastic or glass bottles). This centralized location can be beneficial if garbage collection is provided in the future. Any items not easily turned into compost or re-used can be burned up in a corner of the site away from the residential structures.

Overall Design Descriptive

The project has been conceived with the idea of providing housing that can be adaptive to the various needs of the PLWHA. The flexible plan and structure can be built in phases. This allows FEBS organization to accommodate various family sizes, and to build only what is needed or to expand living arrangements in the future. This is achieved by building the separate main roof which in turns also maximizes natural ventilation. This method is the most economical way to provide maximum thermal comfort. The structures below have their own separate metal roof for waterproofing. The house elements have been deconstructed to allow maximum ventilation and minimize the spread of TB.

The sleeping rooms are designed exactly the same to make it easy for construction. This allows for the standardization of the parts and ease of construction by unskilled workers. Operable louver screened doors and windows provide for maximum natural ventilation, privacy and protection from the elements. The core building is designed to centralized all plumbing and make the buildings more economical. The building is also conceived as a raised floor structure to navigate the changes in topography without disturbing the site. Also this allows for rain water to wash down the site without affecting the living spaces. More over this design minimizes the amount of earth displacement and the need for heavy equipment that is might be lacking in Haiti.

It is important to note that the overall plan can affectively be implemented with different construction techniques. It is conceivable that the structures can be made with panelized walls instead of masonry and the results will be the same. Either concept can be utilized depending on budget and available materials. Due to possibility of wind storms and other related weather, we feel that a concrete structure will be the most durable and still be easy to construct. Especially since local labor is already familiar with this construction technique. In addition another option can be to do a slab on grade in lieu of the raise wood floor. For this option to be feasible we feel that major grading will be needed to keep water runoff from the central portion of the site away from the houses. It is important to note that regardless of the different construction options for the units the main design concept and spatial qualities are achieved.

The building occupies 113 m² of site with a large amount being a semi-outside space. Indoor areas comprised of 59 m² of space. The area allocation for each canopy house is a follows:

• Core: 32 m² o Core Living: 22.2 m² o Core Baths Main: 3.76 m² o Core Toilet Room: 2.46 m² o Core Electrical Pump Room: .74 m²

• Sleeping Rooms: 9 m² each • Lakou: 23.23 m² (Covered outdoors area) • Circulation: 29.73 m² (Covered outdoors area)

tCi3ktpB

• Garden Area: 60.5 m² (per unit); 121 m² total share per each two units The site is arranged in repeated sets of four units. Although the competition

guidelines call for five units on site, we feel that given the site constraints and the need to establish a strong visual connection between units, that four units will be the ideal number to create a sense of community. This is especially true at the beginning of the site development. As the site continues to be developed, sets of two units will expand the sense of community already established in the site.

Within this framework, each two units will share a garden area that is irrigated by gray water coming from two units. The four unit arrangement can be repeated across the site as need it or as funds for additional units become available. We have identified a central area in the site for a future communal garden area. This area is naturally elevated allowing the opportunity to create a terraced garden without the use of heavy earth moving equipment. A possible location near the garden has been identified for a ground water pump. This location is tentative and might need to be relocated depending upon actual ground water availability. If ground water is available, it can be piped to the core section of the buildings for potable water consumption. Rain water collection can still be used for the compost toilets and garden irrigation. The rest of the southern site has been explored to maximize the amount of units that the property can accommodate and are tentative base on future FEBS needs and available funds.

Technical Information

Given the lack of municipal utilities on site, this design entry includes the use of several well know technologies that helps the units function independently. These technologies address the following areas:

• Water: According to researchers the minimum acceptable water needs are typical 100 liters (26 gallons) per person per day3 for basics needs (drinking, sanitation, bathing, and cooking). A family of four will require an average of 400 liters per day (104 gallons/person/day). Besides personal use, the project also requires water for irrigation. To meet these needs the designs calls for two possible strategies.

o Ground Water Strategy: If ground water is available on site, this would be the most effective and reliable way to provide water. Ground water will be piped to each unit and provided at each faucet. To conserve water resources it is recommended that rain water be used for irrigation in conjunction with grey water. Rain water will be also be used for flushing toilets.

o Rain Water Strategy: In case ground water is not available on site, one of the tanks can be designated as potable water and be attached to a filtration system for potable water use. The recommended water tank size shall be no less than 12,000 liters (1,057 gallons) to meet the demands of a family of four for a month. Typical rainfall in Haiti averages 121 mm per month4 allowing for rainfall to keep the water tank at adequate levels. The secondary tank will be utilized for irrigation.

tCi3ktpB

• Sewage: Separate black and grey water systems allows for the reuse of water and the production of fertilizer for garden use.

o Black Water: Two compost low water toilets are provided and connected to an external tank for compost. The closed system requires low water use, little maintenance and produces free compost material. The design is base on a Centrex 200 NE, a non electrical compost tank, which has a capacity for 3 adults or a family of 5 of continual year round use and needs only to be emptied once per year. This system comes with a 1 pint low flush toilet (.56 liters) that minimizes the water usage. This low maintenance system is less expensive than building a septic tank. It also is more environmentally sensitive as it avoids future ground water contaminations from poorly maintained tanks. Given the widespread ground and surface water contamination due to improperly maintained sewage systems, we think an above ground small compost tank will minimize leaks as any problem will be more visible and easily accessible.

o Gray water: Water from bathtubs and sinks is gravity fed down to the garden area and distributed throughout the garden by small perforated hoses.

• Power: A small 320 watt solar power system can produce enough electricity to run the essential items like a small refrigerator, one low voltage light fixtures in each space, and small water pump to circulate water from the storage tanks.

In addition to addressing the infrastructures need of the site, the project seeks to show local workers a new way in which produce their own louvered doors and windows with simple inexpensive materials. This proposal is explained in the diagram below.

Conceptual Structural Proposal

The overall structure is designed with simple materials that can be found locally or shipped from abroad. The main roof is supported on wood poles with independent footers. The corrugated metal roof deck over wood rafters is designed as a hip roof with a 2:12 slope for maximum strength against hurricane winds. The roof structure is designed with

4x12 (5 cm x 10.2 cm) wood members and can be fabricated onsite without the need of cranes or heavy equipment. Hurricane ties shall be use at every joist to the main perimeter beam. The wood poles are set in 1 meter deep concrete footers and wood braces help stabilize the structure against lateral forcers. Corrugated metal sheets are used for roofing material. The housing structures below are designed as concrete structures with raised wood flooring. The concrete walls are place on spread footers independent from the main roof structure. The lakou corner wall is designed to be made with field stones or any other locally found rough stone. This will anchor the corner of the lakou floor. Once the building core and at least one of the sleeping units is in place the entire raised floor can be laid out over 2x wood members. As additional sleeping structures are built the wood floor can be expanded as necessary. Rebar shall be use at corners of masonry structures, in footer and on concrete lintels over windows and doors.

Outline Description of Construction Method

The main construction materials used for the project are as follows: • Wood Poles: 130.5 cm in diameter • Corrugated Metals Roof Deck (for main roof and individual structures) • Pour-in-place Concrete: for footings and lintels • Masonry Units: 15x40x20 cm • Rebar: 5/8” (1.58 cm) • Dimensional Lumber:

o Main roof rafters: 4”x12” (10.2 cm x 30.5 cm) o Main roof perimeter bracing: 2”x10” (5cm x 25.4 cm) o Wood nailers: 2”x4” (5 cm x 10.2 cm) o Wood frame for windows and doors: 2”x4” (5 cm x 10.2 cm)

• Wood Louver Door and Windows: Built locally with 2x and 1x wood material. 1/2” PVC and hangars can be used to make louvers slats operable.

• Cement Plaster: for plastering the interior of the units (min. requirements).

Initial Budget

Base on initial estimates this design can be built for $52,417 per unit. This price is base in building one unit and could potentially be reduce with bulk purchases. Due to excessively high prices for some goods and the lack of certain materials this design proposes the shipment of certain material and or equipment where such makes more economical sense. The budget outline below notes which items are priced locally. All labor cost is base on local fares provided by Archive. Shipping cost from the United Sates to Haiti is included in the budget. All prices are show in US dollars.
