Cocoloca, A Family House

Mouit, Gandiol Senegal

What should we build when the nature is so powerfull, how visible should be our actions when the milkway is so bright. We decided to draw a 100% open house on the nature, capturung each sounds, each winds, each sunlights. An old little building tranformed in a kitchen, connected with the living room by a glass galery. Straw for the roof, lime for the plaster and the floors, old elevator rails from Dakar for the metal structure. The high slope form of the roof garantees the longevity of the straw.
