1. BRIEF
Social housing typology fits into a sustainable approach. It follows
three considerations: economic, social and environmental ones.
ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS
SOCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
- During the life time, due to the same grid, the spaces can evolve as
required according to the changing uses.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
- The building use the networks (water, electricity and waste) with
parcimony.
- The construction doesn’t increase the soil erosion by rising from the
ground.

3. SITING
PLOT DIVISION
POSITION
TERRAIN
ORIENTATION
- The building must have its largest roof slope facing North to antici-
pate the installation of solar panels.
- The vegetation and surrounding buildings should not be located
too close to the building in order to allow sunlight to shine. The ve-
getable garden faces North.
- The current road plan of Rapa Nui may imply that a building does
not face the North. This is possible but it should not be oriented
more than 45° to the north-east or north-west in order to avoid redu-
cing solar gains too much.
DISTANCES
- The social housing should not be situated more than 500m from
public transport in order to allow residents to own or use cars and to
allow people without a car to travel easily on the island.
- The social housing should not be situated more than 1000m from
the schools in order to allow children to reach it easily.
- The social housing must not be located more than 2000m from the
shops in order to allow residents to get there easily and to encou-
rage public transport.

ENVIRONMENTAL
This is why sustainable and inexpensive comfort techniques are
used.
WATER MANAGEMENT
CONTROL,
- The roof of the building is used to collect rainwater.
- The collected water is then routed to a storage tank.
- This tank, connected to the building’s plumbing network, can supply
the building to evacuate the toilets, water the plants and, with an ad-
ditional step, provide drinking water.
- This tank can also be used to water the garden.
UTILITIES SUPPLY,
- Being connected to the island’s water network, any excess water
can be redistributed to the island.
WASTE
- A simple, well-sized eaves prevents the too hot summer sun rays
while enjoying the winter sun rays.
- Natural ventilation passing through the entire building is allowed
through openings that do not allow rain to enter.
- Around the building, trees will be planted which will reduce the solar
impact on the roof and give more shaded spaces for outdoor spaces.
- All waste is organized and sorted in the waste room with an entry
from the buildings and an entry from the road.
- Organic waste can be used as garden compost and excess inorga-
nic or organic waste is taken to the recycling center.
- The waste room is isolated from the rest of the program and is not
visible from the road.
- The construction elements are easily recyclable, they have a stan-
dardized section and dimensions, which allows them to be reused.
If elements require replacement, the forestry developed on the island
could remove the need to import raw materials again.
ENERGY
- In the long term, residents can add more costly sustainable comfort
techniques such as photovoltaic solar panels for the production of
electricity and thus no longer depend on the island’s electrical network
and even participate in the island’s electrical network.

6. CONSTRUCTION
CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS
- The foundations allow to raise the building from the ground, pro-
tecting it from humidity and avoiding to increase the general soil ero-
sion. Two kind of foundations exist: the ones to support the vertical
MATERIALS AND
structure and the ones to support the floor. The first ones are made in
concrete with a steel fixation. The second ones are made either with
bloc of concrete, stones or tires filled with soil.
SYSTEMS
tions are made in the floor next to the pillars.
- The pillars are assembled with wooden beams. Two lateral beams
(dimensions: from 3cm x 6cm x 120cm to 4cm x 12cm x 160cm) are
holding two central beams (dimensions: from 6cm x 12cm 180cm
to 9cm x 12cm x 240cm). They are fixed together with screws. The
inclined one is rotated of 30°. It will allow to support the horizontal
beam of the upper level or the roof.
CONSTRUCTION SYSTEMS
- Phase 1
• 2 workers in 3-5 days
• dig the holes for the foundations
• put the foundations with the steel fixation in the holes
• put the support foundations on the floor
- Phase 2
• 2 workers in 2-4 days
• assemble the wooden pillars on the floor
• fixe them in the steel foundations
- Phase 3
• 2 workers in 2-4 days
• fixe the wooden beams to the vertical structure and on the
foundations
• superpose the wooden beams perpendicular to them
• fix the prefab stairs where you want
- Phase 4
• 4 workers in 2-4 days
• assemble the long wooden beam on the floor
• on a ladder fix
• still on the ladder, superpose the transversal wooden beams

CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS
- Gutter
The rainwater is conducted from the roof in a gutter. From there the
water is headed to a pipe which is fixed to the water tank.
MATERIALS AND
- Roof
The roof is made of corrugated steel. Panels are simply fixed to a
wooden structure. They are intertwined so as to provide a better seal.
The roof can have different shapes: two-sided or one-sided.
SYSTEMS
CONSTRUCTION SYSTEMS
- Phase 1
• 4 workers in 2-4 days
• assemble the wooden pillars of the second level on the
ground
• use the stairs to bring them up
• fix them on the pillars of the ground floor
- Phase 2
• 4 workers in 2 days
• assemble the parts of the wooden beams of the roof on the
floor
• rise them up to upper level
• gather the several parts together
• fix them on the pillars
- Phase 3

7. CULTURAL TAUPEA, PAE-PAE & UMU
- Some architectural forms have been identified as commonly occur-
ring in current constructions such as the pae-pae and the taupea.
We have therefore taken up these architectural forms which are part
of the cultural identity of the locals so that they better adopt new
MARKERS
construction:
• Taupea
As an interphase between the interior and exterior of an
inhabited place, as a threshold, has an important place in
the Rapanui social life supporting collective gatherings as well
as contemplative solitude.
• Pae-Pae
It’s also a place in the interior-exterior interphase of a building,
but of an ephemeral nature, a place where work tools,
forgotten or found things are stationed temporarily.
• Umu
In traditional Rapanui cuisine the use of an umu is common. It
is a kind of barbecue: the food, wrapped in leaves, is cooked
on hot stones at the bottom of a hole dug in the ground. The
umus are important for the community because around them
several community events take place, where food is usually
prepared and shared between different families and also with
foreigners. Those events are seen as a sign of collaboration,
solidarity and reciprocity.
AMBIVALENT ROOM
- Tourism is the most important economic activity of the island and
it is growing. It is therefore common in Rapanui culture to rent ac-
commodation. Formerly mainly composed of rentals of informal fa-
mily rooms, we provide an ambivalent room shared between two
households. This room can be used as needed: rental accommoda-
tion, garage, store, storage, etc.
WOOD SKILLS
- Sculpture has an important part in the life of the inhabitants of Rapa-
nui. It is present in various architectural forms such as on the wooden
columns of eucalyptus for exemple. These sculptures take place on
locally available materials such as coral, stone and wood of various
species.

9. ADAPTATION MATERIAL RESOURCES & CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES
- The building materials resources are quite low on Rapa Nui, es-
pecially if one takes into account the future population growth of the
island. This is why it is important to be flexible in the possibilities
of materials for the construction of social housing. Our construction
technique can therefore be as well in metal (short term) as in wood
(short and long term): post-beam with bolting fixing (easy for the pre-
mises and robust).
IMPLANTATION: DENSIFICATION
- The exceptional landscape of Rapa Nui, through tourism, is what
makes the island economically alive. It is therefore important to pre-
serve it by densifying Hanga Roa and, in some cases, by creating
new dense hubs:
• Negotiations with the land owners can be initiated in order to
be able to use part or all of them and deconstruct the existing
one.
• In the case of hubs, it is enough to build on virgin land.

10. VISUALIZATION
- The image shows the integration of the type in a constructed context.
- This urbanisation is a bit different than the one existing right now
(isolated houses). It allows to think the city and its scale in a more
sustainable way (higher density but still in small scale).
Dates: 2015
Materials / systems: Materials recycled: windows, floor, lights, furnitures. Wood construction
Numbers: City recyclying 80 % of waste; 115 sqm ; WAN award 2016 nominated
Performance: This brewery takes place in Japan in a city with a very high waste treatment efficency (80%). Its
wooden construction and its constructive and playful concept make it a good exemple of in-
tregation into the site and the forest context. The building is a symbol celebrating this success
of recycling. It demonstrates some exemples of ways of recycling and reuse, throught different
Value and strategy: The architects converted and reconstructed furniture such as bridal chests and farm equip-
Elemental
ment found at the recycle center for use as product display fixtures. Locally-produced cedar
board wood waste was colored with naturally derived persimmon tannin paint and applied to Hiroshi Nakamura Sebastian Calera Larrea
the exterior wall. They utilized abandoned items from a tile factory for the floor, empty bottles
to create a chandelier, antlers produced in the town for the draft tower, and newspapers as
wallpaper. The space is very playful with this creative combination of waste material.
Not only the architecture conserves energy and resources, and reduces harmful emissions
though reuse, reduce, and recycle, it is starting to enhance a circulation of the regional econ-
omy as well as tourism. Moreover, by embodying the town’s vision within everyday life, the
locals who gather at this pub are beginning to truly realize that their actions are fun and crea-
tive. The town was also inspired by this and newly established a display shelf for construction
materials at the recycle center (inspired by the presentation of the project from the architects).
A particular attention is given to the wooden construction, typical in the traditionnal japanese
house. The structure, the façade and part of the cladding are made in wood but also furniture
too.
The shape of the building increase the efficency of the natural ventilation, necessary for this
program.
Challenges: Propose a symbol of light and efficent social building responding to a very high waste treat-
ment context. The relation with the context is then very strong. The wood facade is well inte-
grated in this wooded area. The project own an interactive purpose. It shows different way of
using waste object and materials.
