An italian client living in Maputo,
wanted to build a holidays pavilion in
the tropical city of Pemba, in the far
north of the country.
Pemba is a port 2,500 km far away
from the capital Maputo. It is the 4th
most populated city in Mozambique
and the capital of Cabo Delgado
Province, one of the most isolated
areas in the country and the door of
Quirimbas National Park and Niassa
National Park. Pemba is a place with
no good prefabricated materials and
no skilled labor. It's a "prehistory " of
a city and everything is built slowly
with cement, iron stone and sand.
The project is a first prototype of
east-west narrow blocks walls as the
minimum bioclimatic and appropriate
structures to build in northern
Mozambique.
The concrete side walls and the
“macuti” palm roof are containing the
most intense solar radiation of the
day while the north and south
facades are completely permeable
and opened for the more efficient
natural ventilation.
The common areas of the house
located on the top floor and overlooking to the Indian Ocean represent
almost 75% of the indoor volume of
the house, in comparison with the
small part for private program.
Pemba have a humid equatorial
climate with a dry winter where daily
average temperatures exceed 30° C
and the relative humidity is 70%; here
common spaces with large indoor
volume opened to natural ventilation
make the best quality for living.

Between the Ecuador and the tropics the sun is
born in the east, then goes to the zenith and
dies in the west. The east-west walls and roof
receive more solar radiation. It is possible to
extend north and South walls without a significantly increasing the amount of heat.

A mozambican woman wanted to
build a house for her and an indefinite
number of relatives who would live
the house.
The client has no land and the project
was set in a fictional place in the Bay
of Pemba.
This house replicates Santoro’s
house with different roof material and
smallest structures. It is an extended
block north-south opened to natural
ventilation, while east-west faces are
closed with solid walls to contain
solar radiation.
All the program except living room is
arranged on only one elevated floor
at one meter from the ground, to
avoid humidity, insects and snakes.
A timber ceiling becomes a device
capable of transporting fresh air
between north and south facades to
resolve the problem of cross ventilation in the double line of rooms.
All concrete beams are not longer of
3.5 meters, same size that the longest and cheapest piece of timber
available in Pemba which could
support the metal roof.
The project becomes a low-cost
house for typical solid housing
construction in northern Mozambique, but stylized to recreate an
object formally unknown in the landscape of the Bay of Pemba.
With no specific site in mind the
project resulted to be oriented object
that you could build in other sites

A mozambican business man wanted
to build a house with the structural
capacity to landed a small helicopter.
The land was located in the water
front of Maringanha in the south of
Pemba, with a open view over the
Indian ocean.
The project is a 900 M² structure with
three “wings”: east, west and south.
The wings are the coincidente with
the program:
In the ground floor a east-dining
room, a west-Living room and a
south-kitchen.
In the upper floor kids rooms are in
the east, parents room in the west
and south wing for the guests. Also in
the basement floor there is another

guest apartment in the east and a
party space in the west; the box
of the swimming pool is in the
middle of them.
In the upper floor the house is air
conditioned and natural ventilated
in the ground floor.
The finishing of the house should
be the minimum, no tiles, no paint,
timber in door and windows, just
the local mud plaster.
We always should think in this
structure as a ruin, the kind of
structures that owners never finish
to build.
GAK’s house is an object to be
recognized from the air and to look
and be looked from the ocean.

Client: Mark Ramsey
Built Surface: 120 M²
Cost: 400 USD x M²
Status: Unbuilt
An australian land broker based in
Cape Town wanted to build an open
tropical pavilion to spend time of the
year in his vast land in the water front
of the small village of Murrebue.
Murrebue is a very poor village 10
kms away from Pemba with one of
the most beautiful beach in the north
of Mozambique.
With the gentrification of these areas
many foreigners bought big lands in
the water front and started to build
solid houses to legally secure these
properties.
The land is a beatiful wild plataform
with a wide view over the Indian
Ocean, many Baobabs live there.
The project is a concrete structure
elevated one meter from the ground
to avoid humidity, insects and
snakes.
The ground floor plan contains
kitchen and common spaces, store
room, and bathroom with his private
courtyard closed by a bamboo fence.
The upper floor is an opened plan
with beds protected by mosquito net.
The palm leave roof is projected with
a bigger distance on east and west
side to protect the interior space from
sun and rain.
This house can be the example of a
very precarious project, however this
kind of spaces are the most comfortable way to spend the tropical night in
the lands of Murrebue.

A Belgium Prince wanted to build a
house 40 kms on the south of
Pemba. He started with three small
bungalows and one big cover
common space as a base camp on
his vaste land in the water front of
Ngoma.
As a hunter, he dreamt of having his
own place in the coast as a first step
and approach to go to the Niassa
Province, one of the wildest areas of
Mozambique to hunt elephants and
buffalos.
The land is a 40 hectars site, 1000
mts beach coast and 400 mts inland.
The landscape is a mix between
green dunes on the sea side and red
clay land full of baobab trees; a small
lake is reproducing a rich biodiversity
of plants, trees and birds.
The only access to the land is
through a local road which becomes
almost impracticable in the rainy
season when, in three months, 900
mm of water are falling.
The use of local materials combined
with concrete blocks for the foundations and walls were very important:
local timber, bamboo and vegetal
roof were essential.

During his 30 years of architectural

the winner of several competitions in
Guadeloupe, Martinique and French
Guyana in a wide range of programs
as education, health, residential and
offices. The public competition for the
"Reconstruction of Schoelcher's High
School" in fort de france was won in
2006. The High School Victor Schoelcher is most important educational
intitution in Martinique, and a building
very important in the image of Fort de
France.
The high school Schoelcher represent the place where the people in
Martinique was educated politically to
leave slavery. Many important
peoples in the history of Martinique
were educated in this school;
included Aimé Césaire, the famous
poet martiniques. The building inaugurated in 1937 is considered as the
most important heritage of modern
architecture in Martinique but the
political vision in 2006 was to demolish the entire existent building. In
2008 a new elected député of Martinique stopped the project.
The original proposal in the awarded
project in 2006 was to build new
classrooms block parallel to the
ocean creating a big screen facade;
the roof, a massive steel structure
covering and protecting all these
blocks, unified them one big building.

Client: AEFE
Surface: 15.000 M²
Cost: 450 USD x M²
Status: Competition
The Project for the French School was
the result of the restricted competition
organized by the AEFE for the desing of
a new building for The French School
Alexander Yersin in Hanoi. The last 10
years as a consequence of the fast
economic development of the country,
the expat community has been growing
exponentially
in Vietnam, especially
the French - Vietnamese community
because of the strong historical and
economical relationship between the
two countries. The French School
Alexander Yersin is the second French
School with a new building in Vietnam;
one has been inagurated in 2012 in Ho
Chi Minh City (HCMC).
The new French School of Hanoi will
be located in Long Bien district, in the
new expansion area of Hanoi
crossing the Red River through the
famous Long Bien Bridge. The
design of the new French School
proposes a passive energy building
with passive solar protection in
facades, crossing natural ventilation
and green roof for isolation and
harvest water. The structure is a two
floors concrete ring which distributes
all the program inside and produces
a safe interior space for 1200
students. The west part of the plot is
organized for big sports installations
as requirement by the client. The
result is a unified volume surrounded
by greenery all around.
