Ridge Villa, Ghana

In Accra, nestled within a garden featuring a pool and spa, the Villa embodies the principle of “less is more” through an architecture of pure volumes and continuous surfaces, seamlessly connecting interior and exterior.
Travertine, Verde Alpi marble, and rosewood compose a sculptural, tactile environment, unfolding from formal areas — such as the double-height living room — to more intimate zones, like the family room, where a built-in, retractable sofa transforms into a space for gathering and interaction.
The interiors progress as fluid sequences, designed to accommodate a private art collection, integrated into the project with scenographic backdrops that dialogue with the architecture and the natural surroundings.
