VINOOGO HOUSE

Idea projektu

The project draws its inspiration from the essence of traditional Burkinabe
architecture, particularly the case—a vernacular dwelling deeply rooted in the local
climate, culture, and way of life.
The traditional case is distinguished by its simple, circular or organic forms, its
construction using local materials such as earth, wood, and straw, and its close
connection to nature and community. It serves simultaneously as a shelter, gathering
place, and living space, designed to respond to climatic conditions while fostering social
interactions.

Popis projektu

This project aims to implement an integrated household system focused on self-sufficiency, sustainable resource management, and environmental responsibility. The solution combines local food production, renewable energy generation, and an independent water supply to meet the household's daily needs while minimizing its ecological footprint.

Technické informace

"Driven by a dialogue between past and present craftsmanship, I've selected materials that embody this vision. Compressed Earth Bricks (CEB) form the walls, straw makes up the roof, and wood serves for the framework, favoring vernacular resources and techniques. To punctuate and enrich this architectural narrative, the entrance porch structure is designed with reinforced concrete, strongly asserting the fusion of local identity with contemporary expression."
