JULIET M. KAVISHE

Located in an upmarket area in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, the approach to the interiors of this project were based on the architect's use of concrete and a linear repetition on the facade. One of the challenges was the abundance of concrete columns needed for support of the large concrete spans

 

With this in mind, I chose to encase the columns creating pockets of spaces in similar finishes, as best illustrated around the staircase. A focus on luxury finishes and simple designs make the apartment more upmarket.

 

I worked on the design concept, designs and technical documentation of the design process which involved all documentation and design resolution with regards to bathrooms, kitchen, joinery (casework) & bedroom designs, layouts, finishes, sanitary and chrome ware specifications, lighting, electrical and ceiling designs and layouts. and final translation of design drawings with contractors based in Abidjan.
