Echoes of the primitive cottage /
The minimum, elementary house /
Single, wide open internal space /
Metal tubes from old sewage systems /
Framing the view of neighboring groves. /
Masonry walls define spaces /
Supporting the thermo-acoustic metal roof. /
Ascending breezes make the house breathe, /
Reliefs and panels by Jorge dos Anjos /
Connect the residence to past and future Africas /
