House E2, Yene Senegal, 2008

This trapezoidal shaped house was designed on existing foundations.

 

Below, partly in the foundations, are the cooler private living areas and the kitchen.

Above this, under a large canopy (originally covered with straw and designed solely as sun protection), is a roof terrace and a sheltered panoramic pavilion.

From the roof terrace the coast, 500 m away, is visible.

 

The local materials and the simple construction method give the house an remarkable atmosphere.
