Transient populations in rural areas experience a lack of available or familiar resources that make adjusting to rural life challenging. Teachers and nurses in the town of Akyem Dwenase in Southern Ghana are particularly affected by this phenomenon, but this adjustment can be supplemented through thoughtfully designed housing. This off-site project designed flexible housing units for teachers and nurses stationed in the town of Akyem Dwenase for an affordable, safe, and sustainable addition to the town. The design features Nelplast EcoBlocks, a product repurposing discarded waste plastic to reduce the cost and economic footprint of the design.
