Dar Douala

In a rural area inhabited by a few houses and many trees, there is the land, which beautifully contemplates nature, where the project is built with a 360 degree view of the mountains.

Indeed, this project is a wonderful paradigm of how modern architecture can blend harmoniously into an agricultural environment, and this establishes a link between modern lifestyle and rural appeal, this duality is all the charm of the project, the fact of succeeding in creating a building which confers both the comfort of a modern way of life and the simplicity of a rural appearance.

The main concern of the design was to create spaces leading to a fluid dialogue with nature, for this reason the choice of the material palette was oriented towards greige tones to allow the building to stand out against its green background which allows it to be placed in harmonious coexistence with the nature that surrounds it.

The project mainly seeks to provide spaces for relaxation while offering the possibility of experimenting with various notions of interaction between spaces and with the landscape. Its structure is intended to integrate perfectly with the natural environment, creating a feeling of well-being and freshness for each visitor who experiences the spaces, for this we tried to highlight the purity of the form using rationalist features such as linear plans, structured volumes, and walls, which create visuals and spaces that follow the shape of the land and
integrate fluidly with natural elements.

Furthermore, the creation of patios and interior courtyards was an essential concept in this project, each courtyard is distinct in its design, its dimensions, and its role to play: terrace, Jacuzzi, garden... and these patios make it possible to bring air, light to interior spaces.

Regarding the program, the ground floor brings together all the living spaces, while the upper floor houses the intimate spaces where each suite has two large openings, one which overlooks the swimming pool and the other on an interior courtyard.
