Tropical Contemporary Residence·Completed
The Brise-Soleil Residence
Tactile architectural joinery converging board-marked concrete with solid brass channels.
Architectural Concept & Delivery Narrative
A study in tactile materiality and environmental balance. Sited on a quarter-acre plot in Airport Residential, this private home utilizes deep overhangs and fine vertical teak timber louvers to tame the intense Accra sun. The boundary between interior living rooms and private landscaped gardens dissolves completely via 3.2-meter motorized pocket glass doors.
