Every child is the next generation successor who deserves the opportunity to grow and develop <br /> <br /> <br /> into an independent adult and able to get a role in the community. Orphanages are one of the <br /> <br /> <br /> solutions to overcome the problems of abandoned children to replace the family role in the growth <br /> <br /> <br /> of a child. William Booth Orphanage in Bandung has been established since 1917 until now requires a <br /> <br /> <br /> new orphanage equipped with supporting facilities such as halls and administrative offices. The <br /> <br /> <br /> project is located in the Gegerkalong Army Housing Complex (KPAD) with 3000 square meters site <br /> <br /> <br /> that can accommodate 100 children, 30 caregivers, and other workers. Not just a place to live, <br /> <br /> <br /> orphanage is also become an external factor that affects the development of children. This can be <br /> <br /> <br /> achieved if building’s design play a role in meeting the basic needs of the children, in this case the <br /> <br /> <br /> basic needs that will be met is based on the Hierarchy of Needs of Abraham Maslow. Therefore, the <br /> <br /> <br /> concept brought in the design of this orphanage is Natural - Intimate - Playful by applying natural <br /> <br /> <br /> lighting and ventilation, the use and play of natural materials that give the impression of warm and <br /> <br /> <br /> not boring, the provision of shared spaces in small groups, inner court as an open space and <br /> <br /> <br /> microclimate control. It is thus expected that through this orphanage design the basic needs of the <br /> <br /> <br /> children can be fulfilled and the growth and their development can be maximally encouraged
