Kohmotso — Phase 1
Limpopo, South Africa
2011 - 2012




The phase one classrooms at Khomotso are some of the most functional teaching spaces the studio has delivered. When we visited in 2019 almost all of the children were having a lesson in the shade in front of these rooms. There is a simplicity to the rooms that creates a utility that is appreciated by the teachers.




Kohmotso Creche, 4 classrooms and 124 children
There is an issue with the ceilings, in that the natural ventilation that has been designed in is not considered adequate by the social development officer.
