Concorso “A HOUSE IN LUANDA: PATIO AND PAVILION”

The aim of this project is to propose a model of a single family dwelling that could be at the same time cheap, easy to build and flexible. Cheap because of the construction materials such as the mud bricks, simply covered with earth – plaster for the main wall for the house and the exterior wall or such the wood beams and boards, used for the roof and for the external pavement. The construction method for this kind of materials, that are typical and common in the vernacular architecture of central Africa made this model a very “easy to build house”, also for self-construction.
