The project is located in the heart of the city of Douala, in the Bonanjo district, and benefits from an exceptional location and visibility

The ambition and innovation of the program, together with the exceptional location and visibility of the site, testify to the modernity of the project

As the economic capital of Cameroon and of Central Africa, Douala is also a place of modernity where economic activity develops with the strength and richness of the culture and history of Cameroon

The project is organized in R+8 with 4 levels of underground parking

The functionality of the building, in the broad sense, includes all aspects related to daily and long-term operation, placing the project in a sustainable development approach

Thus, the consideration of the site, climatic, energy, regulatory and technical constraints, the program and also the necessary flexibility of the building determine the morphology of the structure

The levels are free of any internal walls and allow any type of layout and subdivision of spaces

The project is the expression of its program, its functioning and its natural and cultural environment

The forms and materials used draw their roots by taking inspiration from the geometric patterns of Douala masks and pagne fabric, shields or African furniture

Thus, the movable protective façade panels, triangular in shape and including a horizontal slot at eye level allowing to see outside when the panels are closed, recall traditional masks and shields
