The project is conceived as a private gated-community development in Accra, Ghana, offering a carefully calibrated balance between individual living and shared amenities within a lush, resort-like environment. The masterplan brings together six villas of two distinct types, four townhouses, and a range of common facilities, all organized to prioritize landscape, pedestrian experience, and community interaction.
Vehicular access and circulation are deliberately relegated to the edges of the plot, freeing the heart of the site from traffic and allowing it to be fully dedicated to landscaped communal spaces. Within this protected interior, the villas are arranged as a series of fragmented clusters set around gardens, pedestrian paths, and water elements such as pools and reflective basins. This configuration fosters a calm and intimate atmosphere, where nature becomes the primary structuring element and daily movement unfolds through shaded walkways and open-air spaces. Each villa maintains a strong relationship with the outdoors, while carefully positioned setbacks and planting ensure privacy.
In contrast to the dispersed villa clusters, a linear building anchors the narrow edge of the site. This volume accommodates the four townhouses together with shared amenities, including a gym, swimming pool, and paddle court.
Two peripheral staircases connect the ground level to the roof of this linear building, transforming it into an extension of the communal landscape below. An elevated pedestrian passage loops along the rooftops of the townhouses, creating a continuous public promenade. Here, the traditional relationship between ground and roof is inverted: the rooftops become elevated ground floors, opening directly onto a shared pedestrian realm, while the private residential spaces are set beneath.
Through its careful spatial hierarchy and integration of architecture and landscape, the development offers comfort and seclusion while encouraging a sense of community and shared living within the urban context of Accra.
