Wallpaperさんのインスタグラム写真 - (WallpaperInstagram)「The Wallpaper* #ArchitectsDirectory has turned 20, and to mark the occasion we catch up with some of our over-500 alumni, including architecture studio Koffi & Diabate (@koffidiabate_architectes). ⁠ ⁠ Founded in 2001 through the partnership of young Yale graduate Issa Diabaté and established Côte d’Ivoire architect Guillaume Koffi, Koffi & Diabaté have made their reputation through their contemporary approach to traditional techniques. One of the firm’s most recent projects is the TÉRÉ Pavilion, a second home located in the coastal city of Assinie-Mafia. The architects describe the location as an ‘idyllic environment’ that is frequented by those looking to escape the noise and bustle of Abidjan, the country’s largest city, about 100km to the west.⁠ ⁠ The new house is defined by its use of traditional construction methods, notably rammed earth walls. Carefully orientated to keep the internal spaces shaded from direct sunlight, the earth walls are built up in layers, with subtly varying colour pigmentation and a warm, soft finish. Junctions and details are kept simple throughout, with steel and hardwood frames and terrazzo flooring, while the entire structure is oversailed by a high sloped roof in corrugated metal with a wooden frame.⁠ ⁠ To explore the TÉRÉ Pavilion in more detail, follow the link in bio.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #ArchitectsDirectory #KoffiDiabate #AfricanArchitecture #ResidentialArchitecture #Houses⁠」7月6日 0時01分
