A Shelter in Lubango

Here in Lubango a house will be born. Founded under African roots, this is a house where luxury inhabits. Africa motherland, majestic, primordial, world’s sacred source.

This house is inspired by the traditional African constructions. On those vaulted lodgings that, like a mother’s womb, nourish, care, sustain and protect from the rain, the heat, the mosquitos and the wild animals.

The project starts from the premise of a previous draft. The volumes of the first layout are afterwards adjusted and rotated according to the experience of light and living, fused through their common intersections.

From the earth comes the color of adobe, which integrates itself perfectly in the magnificent scenery, telling us a different story each season of the year.
