The medical complex in Achham, Nepal was designed by the architecture office Sharon Davis Design. The rammed earth structure replaced an old clinic as it was too small to accommodate patients needing treatment. Due to the remote location of the site, local materials minimized cost in terms of transportation as well as procurement. The entire development was built in phases and consists of five medical buildings, an administrative block, ten houses as well a dorm for hospital staff. While usage of solar panels on the south-facing roofs help power the hospital, passive heating and cooling helped reduce dependency on mechanical air conditioning.
