Lagoon Villa
Abidjan, Ivory Coast
Situated at the point where Abidjan’s vibrant cityscape meets the tranquil waters of the Ébrié Lagoon, Lagoon Villa stands as an example of architecture in harmony with its environment. The villa pays homage to Abidjan’s modernist architectural tradition, whilst being thoughtfully adapted to the demands of contemporary living and the distinct characteristics of its site. Lagoon Villa is more than a family home; it is positioned on the waterfront, creating a seamless dialogue between its structure and the natural surroundings, effectively erasing the traditional boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces.
