Tanzania is an East African country with a population of over 60 million people. About 70% of the population live in rural areas, which often have very poor living conditions. Most families live in traditional mud and straw huts with poor hygiene and comfort. A design competition was organized to create a new home for the Jorejick family that respects their culture and traditions. The family consists of five adults and ten children. The requirements for the house were six bedrooms, two kitchens, an open living room, an outdoor area with space for animals, storage and washrooms. The concept of the house was based on the Tanzanian symbol of the region, two circles representing unity and wholeness. The house was built from bamboo columns and girders and the wall structure was made from blocks of pressed earth, a material commonly used in Africa and also helping to create local jobs. The focus was on improving the family's quality of life through a functional yet minimalist design that offers both privacy and shared spaces.

The house has an outdoor area with a garden and kitchen to include the local cooking traditions. A water tank collected rainwater for use in bathing and watering the plants, while a filtration system provided drinking water. Overall, the family's new home aims to be a safe and comfortable place to live and an example of how modern design principles can be combined with traditional cultures and materials. Especially in poorer countries like Africa, a home is often an unattainable goal for many people. There are many reasons for this, such as a lack of financial resources or a lack of infrastructure. It is therefore of great importance that initiatives and projects are created to give people in Africa a home. Everyone has the right to a home that offers them protection, security, and the opportunity to spend time with loved ones. A place where you can rest and recover, where you feel safe and secure.
