House In Squares
Private Residence | Accra, Ghana
The House In Squares embraces a minimalist architectural language rooted in texture and form. The home’s bold geometry and monolithic appearance are softened by the natural warmth of its rammed-earth inspired façade, blending harmoniously with the landscape. The architecture prioritizes simplicity and sustainability. A restrained material palette, warm-toned walls, raw concrete accents, and natural stone, grounds the building in its environment while enhancing thermal performance. Deep window reveals frame curated views and shade the interiors, while carefully placed openings invite daylight and cross-ventilation.
The xeriscaped front garden is a sculptural composition of cacti, aloes, and boulders; blurring the boundary between built and natural elements. At the rear, a shaded courtyard doubles as an outdoor kitchen and dining area, providing an intimate space for gathering, protected by the surrounding walls and dappled tree canopy. This home is not only a retreat but a celebration of earth, sky, and quiet elegance, where minimalism meets a sense of grounded luxury.
