Abstract
This paper examines the process of designing and constructing a sustainable off-grid architecctual retreat, whiten a multisensory experience as a solution to better help children facing late language development and stuttering and their parents. Through various analysis to understand and convey the site’s surroundings, environment, and climate and conducted theoretical reseach insights have driven the creation of design criteria’s, set up to be incorporated into the design process. Additionally, case studies have been explored to gain a deeper understanding of architectural techniques employed in similar framework. The design process evolves around the problem-solution based methodology, where as more new discovered aspects leading to a profound proposal has been investigated. In in aim for an off-grid architectural design both Passive and active design strategies, such as the incorporation of solar cells, have been employed to achieve a self-sufficient retreat. The project aims to raise awareness of some vulnerable children facing late language development and stuttering to achieve improvement through special and multisensory experiences together with gaining knowledge about the benefits of being off-grid. As a result, the research conducted in this paper, resuluted into the architectual design proposal,l: CON-TREAT
