LOUVRE HOUSE

PROJECT TYPE: RESIDENTIAL

YEAR: 2019

SITE AREA: 650 Sqm

Nestled in the tropics of Kumasi, Ghana, is a three-bedroom house designed to blend in with nature and allow for the natural flow of light and air. 

The building is designed to sit lightly in the landscape and the intention behind the design is in creating a building that deals with the climatic conditions of its context.

Protecting the inhabitable spaces from the sun, while allowing it to blend into its tropical surrounding is the use of local materials such as bricks and adjustable wooden louvres.
