Rethuseng
Limpopo, South Africa
2017
![]()
Rethuseng is an unfinished creche and is one that illustrates the need for careful consideration of what the design/build studio can deliver. The large dome remains uncovered two years post completion. The three classrooms need maintenance and, in some places, have leaking roofs. One of the most important lessons to take from this is – we must be prepared that nothing will happen to the building after the studio project ends. Completion of the project is everything.
