Ghanaians are known by their amazing sense of friendship and brotherhood. Ghana is deeply integrated into the modern world, but they managed to keep their traditions: good family values, excellent food, and a matriarcal society, where women take leading roles. This is a free time facitlity for Ghanaian women, a place for inspiring their soul in front of the sunny beach. Three main spaces (Sea Room, Land Room and Sky Room) are organised around a restaurant where Fufu and many other tropical gifts can be prepared and tasted by the same guests. A peripherical inverted structure holds long platforms, allowing free plans in all rooms. Both structure and skin is made of carved wood, taking advantage of the shipyard tradition in that area. Stainless steel tensors and grids go in between wood laminated layers. The building has no administration. The guests are the owners.
