Summary	The Charfassion Orphanage in southern Bangladesh requires a new facility design that embraces the unique Bengal lifestyle and provides living spaces that respond to its specific purpose, climate, geographic location, culture, religious values and indigenous building practices to improve the standard of living. Contextual research, a needs assessment and a research site visit preceded the creation of a design solution, which was approved by a network of professional advisors in the United States and in Bangladesh. The design will be implemented through fundraising and social welfare programs at Dartmouth’s Tucker Foundation.
