New project in Cameroon

For several months now we have been working on a project to build two sustainable homes in Cameroon.

In one of them, already in the finishing phase, our job is to supervise the finishes and decoration of the house. Locating local materials such as terracotta brick, local craftsmen for carpentry and iron work, and looking for decorative solutions inspired by the African continent. With on-site monitoring of the finishes based on lime mortar, natural paints or tadelakts. We also design the furniture for bathrooms, kitchen and other rooms in collaboration with a local cabinetmaker.

The second house, still in the planning stage, will be built using earthen bricks and rammed earth, recovering and reinterpreting traditional Cameroonian construction. This work, in which an architect living in Mallorca and technicians from the country also collaborate, aims to be a reference and an example of current architecture in Africa, respectful of traditional methods but without losing sight of the advantages of current sustainable construction techniques.
