Building Inclusive Tropical and Sustainable
The construction of the Urban Villa in St Louis (Senegal) has been continuing slowly but steadily. Finally we are at the point of finishing the rooms: tiling, painting and cleaning. We’re looking forward to sharing daylight pictures overlooking the delta!
See the project [here].
We are happy to announce construction has started on the extension for the hotel Residences Blue in Thies, Senegal!
After months of hard work, the kitchen is ready to fire up! You are all welcome to join and have that delicious meal that was promised.

With joined effort the construction is going smooth, like a clockwork. The concrete columns with the steel rebar are familiar. But using the rocks to join concrete seems is new to me, still it makes sense!
What never stops to inspire is the gorgeous view over the valley!
We have finally started construction for the Tourist Training Center in Peru! It looks like we have to adjust the design to the terrain, but that was already anticipated.
In the neighborhood Grote Berg (Big Mountain) just west of Willemstad on Curaçao are still empty plots to be built. We have been asked by a Yu Korsou, a man born on the island of Curaçao, to design his first place on the island since he left to the Netherlands.
A long time has passed and this promises to be a journey back to the island for both of us. Overlooking the valley of Hato and with the client being an airplane fanatic, the view will be an important theme.
Along the coast south of Dakar, la petite côte, lies the village of Ngaparou. Not too far from the new airport, but with a permanent sea breeze, developments are picking up.
For the Seck family we have been asked to design a vacation home, that will replace the derilict house that stands on their terrain now. Happy with the first project in Saint Louis, they gave us a chance to start from scratch this time.
Ofcourse the surroundings, the trees, the wind and the sun will give enough guidance to fit a nice house here. To be continued!
Right after Ramadan on May 17, Kria will come to Senegal again. He is planning to visit the ongoing construction of the Urban Villa in St. Louis and the recently opened Residences Blue in Thies.
Ofcourse he will also visit the site of the new project in Mbour.
Other ventures are still uncertain, but updates will be posted here!
We received our next assignment for the design of a villa in Senegal!
For a Senegalese couple living in The Hague, we are designing their family home back in Mbour. Not far from the sea, you will be able to see the waves from the first floor. The design optimally reaps this asset, with balconies and full glass sliding doors. Glass will be sheltered from the sun like usual, and an internal green courtyard will provide the house with nice views and cool air.
More coming soon!
