It is a complex located on a rocky plateau 30m above a dam. It consists of around sixteen (16) buildings with dwellings, work and research rooms, a refectory and car parks linked together by paved roads. The buildings, mostly rectangular shaped and North-South oriented are built following the principle of double wall using laterite cut blocs for the facades, a double roof whose upper part made out of an overflowing sheet metal is raised and protect the second in concrete against the weather by allowing a ventilation between the two. This ensures a thermal insulation to the building and a comfort in the rooms with a  lower energy consumption.
