The Nyota Ya Asubuhi Resource Centre is a community hub for young people, comprising a dormitory and various communal spaces for studying, dining, and collective celebrations.
Open toward the sea, the center is designed as a series of distinct, functional elements: a two-story building for student and staff housing, and an open portico that shelters all the community areas, with the exception of the meeting hall, housed within a circular structure in the courtyard and linked directly to the portico.
The project is conceived as an open, evolutionary system, designed to expand in the future by integrating new functions and volumes into the existing portico infrastructure.
With the dormitories completed in 2025, the center awaits for additional funding to reach full completion in 2025.
