LOW COST HOUSING PROJECT IN SIERRA LEONE
MEB Design director Mark Eddison traveled to Sierra Leone in the last week of February with the charity Home Leone who are leading a project to develop low cost housing near the capital city of Freetown. The purpose of the trip was to plan and layout a new primary and middle school and follows on from a previous visit by Mark in September 2015. Below you can see a selection of photos from Mark’s trip.
