EXISTING SITE

The Maison de Lumiere Orphanage for Girls is envisioned as a wonderful home, a place where anyone would enjoy spending time. The complex is made up of rooms and spaces reminiscent of classic Moroccan architecture and gardenscapes, inviting exploration of local culture through the many comfortable and elegant spaces. The outdoor gardens integrate with the interior spaces so the girls can move freely and comfortably throughout their home.

06) LIBRARY AND PRAYER ROOMThe vision for the prayer room and library is to create a calm and inspiring environment for prayer and study. Built-in furniture creates intimate spaces for reading while larger open areas provide space for prayer. A separation between the library and the prayer space is curtained for privacy and steps down from the library area. It opens up to a two story dome with points of light shining down from the sky above.

14) COMPUTER ROOMSThis indoor quiet study room provides the girls with computers to do their homework and learn new skills for our technological world.

19) GIRLS’ BEDROOMThere are ten bedrooms with four girls in each room. These rooms are designed for comfort and community,with provision for ample personal space for each girl and shared space for conversation and play. The deep window seat illuminates a carpeted seating area, while the private sleeping and study spaces are placed on the perimeter of each room.

04,05,06) CARETAKER, COOK AND GUEST/VOLUNTEER SUITESThe rooms placed closest to the main entry of the building provide visitors and the caretakers with generous quarters for short and long term stays. Each room is comfortably equipped with a private bathroom, queen-size bed, a seating area, and a wardrobe. The quality of these rooms is in keeping with the idea that anyone staying here experiences the comfort and qualities of being at home.

10) DINING ROOMIn this beautifully appointed room, the girls have their daily dining experience together. This room is separated from the dish washing room by an open partition for girls to enter and wash thier own dishes. The deep red of the room, along with richly patterned tiling and lamp fixtures, create an elegant ambiance where the girls share meals each day.

08) KITCHENThis space has generous natural light from the east windows. The warm colors and intricate tiling continue the theme of reds and vibrancy of the dining room.

15) COURTYARDAll rooms connect to the central courtyard, creating a central gathering space for the girls and guests. Comfortable seating gives visitors a space to sit and chat with the girls.The traditional Moroccan tile, native plants, arched colonnade and elaborate entrance lead to the outdoor space opposing the front entrance.
