The Breathe House designed by team of architects, engineers and a doctor were awarded first place for the "Kay e Sante nan Ayiti" (Creole for Housing and Health in Haiti) open-innovation design competition organized by the Archive Institute. The key design elements are the use of natural light and passive ventilation and independent renewable energy together with the use of local materials and the simple construction.
