Traditionally, the southern vernacular of the dogtrot houses seperates the living quarters from the kitchen space. As well as this division, the area in between serves as a gathering space for people and animals alike. Raised up from the ground, the structure allows for airflow under-neath the space.
Inspired by this classic structure, we transformed the concept of the dogtrot to span an entire campus, allowing for flood waters to travel safely under the raised plynth. Our small, divided buildings pay homage to the southern classic, while still interacting with the surrounding neigh-borhoods.
In keeping with Haiti’s sporatic green spaces, we chose to implement raised and recessed green spaces. Since these spaces are scattered throughout the site, they invite users to interact at any point in the day.
These spaces are also left out of the organic overhang structure to allow for maximum lighting of the site. Furthermore, the condition promotes the organic growth of trees native to the island.
Enclosed by stone walls, the green spaces are surrounded by recycled materials from Haiti’s tragic earthquake. This materiality contrasts with the green areas and wooden plynth to highlight the country’s diverse culture.

Our primary case study is Savannah, GA- a historic landmark of southern culture. We examined the grid system and how it interacts with the thoughtfully placed parks and green spaces throughout the city. As well as Savannah, we also analyzed the street patterns and layout of Haiti. This layout proved much more challenging- arranged from the patterns of nature, the streets and green spaces wind their way down the coast. We overlayed the grid-like streets of Savannah onto the chaotic coastline of Carrefour to inspire our design.
While our buildings remain orthagonal in nature, they cascade down from the arts center to mimic the natural pattern of the mountain on the Hatian coast. The street system in Haiti influ-enced our overhang to contrast with the axial layout of our buildings while lending shade to the users of the structures.
Structurally, our campus sits on a massive bamboo plynth to allow for drainage under the site. Each building is held up by large wooden post and beam construction and raised from the wall height to allow for maximum airflow. This structural decision allows for all buildings to be passive air. However, buildings that need strict temperature control can implement glass in these spaces, as to not lose the integrity of the building or lose light flow.
In keeping with the theme of contrasting cities, the overhang is constructed of copper that will oxidize over time, giving rich color to the wooden structures and providing a beautiful structural piece.
