Rainbow Network Headquarters in Managua, Nicaragua

The Rainbow Network is a non-for-profit organization that helps underprivileged families micro-finance homes and provide structure in their lives. This project was a headquarters for their efforts in Nicaragua. Programmatic elements include spaces for administration, education, dormitories, vehicle maintenance, and a health clinic. The concept of this project was to capture as much of the rain as possible during the 5 month wet season. The center of each of the 5 structures on the campus has water cisterns capable of containing thousands of gallons of water.
