In Swahili the word smile is translated as tabasamu.
The musicality of the local language transports us to a sensorial
dimension in which the architectural project is born and concretized.
Our project is divided into three main areas: the apartments with their courtyard,
the medical center and the warehouse space, well defined by the use of courtyards,
a space for meditation, common areas and differents altitude.
With the opening of a new dedicated road system,
the chance of a new parking lot in the area of the lot to the south was born.
