MERISHAW ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT

Located in Isinya – Kajiado County, Merishaw School borrows heavily from the Maa
homestead – the Manyatta – in planning and layout of spaces, to provide the 1,200 boys a
second home, away from home. The student is placed at the centre of the institution – being
the school’s most priced asset and is surrounded on all sides by layers of protection. The
tuition block, science block and dormitories – areas within which student life rotates – are
placed centrally within the scheme with ancillary structures around to buffer off these spaces
from the outside influences.
Space in the 3 dimensions is highly priced and students have been provided with as much to
ensure they are constantly on the move – as the pastoral community hosting the school –
and do not find school life monotonous. Space allows for imagination and provides room for
creativity. It creates buffers between activities within and without, ensuring sources of
disturbance are kept away from the core of the institution. Activities in the students’ daily
lives are distant to allow room for transition from one mindset to the next.
Merishaw School imparts knowledge on sustainability through deliberate design of spaces to
ensure natural lighting and ventilation during daytime hours – no activity is to be carried
under artificial lighting during day time hours, save for the auditorium where theme and task
lighting is required. Rain water harvesting and storage within a reservoir, solar power
generation and use through a grid tied system, waste water recycling for irrigation, cleaning
and re-flushing of toilets, as well as use of vegetation to create a microclimate within the
school are some of the ways Merishaw teaches the boys lessons on sustainability.eye.
