"My daughter has a room. I didn't think that would happen in my lifetime."
— Fatema Begum, Sylhet

A floor that doesn't flood.
A door that locks.
A wall your child draws on.
This is not charity.
This is architecture.
Hearth builds permanent, dignified homes for families displaced by floods, poverty, and circumstance — from the hillsides of Medellín to the delta villages of Bangladesh.
