The envisioned Staff and Admin Building was conceived as a dynamic hub to support Eco Moyo’s educational and administrative functions. Initially, the design featured distinct zones: a ground floor for a reading room, library, teacher meeting area, computer and battery storage, and an open outdoor space designed to accommodate eight teachers in a more relaxed, communal layout. The upper floor was planned to house a TV room for up to 30 people, along with flexible hangout areas to foster informal staff interactions.

As the project evolved, functional requirements shifted. The need for dedicated spaces such as a kitchen or uniquely shaped hangout zones was re-evaluated, leading to a simplification of the overall footprint to match the existing building on the site. Key design refinements included the integration of a makuti roof throughout to evoke local character and improve rain protection, and the strategic positioning of entrances to unify circulation and create a cohesive environment.

Interior spatial arrangements were adapted to provide versatility—stepped-out wall sections create nooks for group activities and a comfortable library setting, while the removal of certain structural elements enhanced the open-plan layout for meetings and teacher workspaces. Material selections, including stone walls and a protective brick base, were made to ensure durability and resistance to weather. Ultimately, the design reflects a balance between visionary planning and practical adaptation, ensuring that the Staff and Admin Building is both responsive to Eco Moyo’s current needs and adaptable for future programmatic evolution.
