"Set on Ghana's coast, this home rises from the ground beneath it: rammedearth walls mixed and compacted onsite. The multigenerational house combines private retreats with shared spaces, encouraging daily exchange. Built almost entirely from locally available materials, the house embraces a natural and sustainable approach. The spatial organization is intended to be peaceful, balanced, and open to nature. The layout creates courtyards; the porous ground floor dissolves the boundary between inside and out."
