Built on 8,000 m2 on the edge of a lagoon, the Essoa Pavilion offers an immersive residential experience where the architecture blends seamlessly into the landscape. Its 7,500 m2 botanical garden, a true ecosystem, highlights its ecological and bioclimatic foundation. Designed to be self-sufficient and modular, the villa combines natural materials with contemporary design, offering discreet and refined luxury in perfect harmony with its environment.

Self-Sufficiency and Local Expertise The villa is built on a foundation of sustainability and self-sufficiency, functioning with energy autonomy through photovoltaic panels and a private well for water. Every piece of furniture, as well as the sinks and tableware, has been custom designed by the Moyésoa Laboratory, showcasing local craftsmanship and the excellence of Ivorian know-how in an exclusive and artisanal approach.

An Architectural Concept Connected to Nature Inspired by tropical vernacular architecture, the villa prioritizes smooth circulation and openness to the outdoors. Composed of independent volumes linked by planted courtyards, it promotes natural ventilation and plays with shadows. Its main terrace, designed as a transitional space, harmoniously connects all the living areas.

A Double Curved Roof for Ventilation and Light One of the architectural signatures of this project lies in its elegant double-curved roof, combining refinement and ingenuity. It optimizes natural ventilation and brings a gentle dynamic to the building. Solid and transparent metal sheets, fixed to a lightweight metal structure, filter the light and create a subtle play of shadows. Designed as a network of connecting points, this structure combines elegance and lightness, while enhancing thermal comfort and reducing the impact of tropical heat.

The living room and dining room, recessed, create a unique perspective: from the pool, the swimmer experiences the illusion of floating in the lagoon, enhancing the immersion in the landscape. An underwater bench directly connects the pool to the kitchen, facilitating interaction and adding an organic, convivial dimension to the living space.The three bedrooms, while independent, are visually connected by a glass opening aligned on the same axis, creating a sense of space and continuity.

Natural Materials and a Harmony of Colors Each material has been carefully chosen to harmonize with the landscape while ensuring optimal thermal comfort. The essence of the curtain walls rests on bioclimatic principles adapted to the Ivorian climate. The rammed earth walls, an ancient material with high thermal inertia, regulate indoor temperature by reducing heat fluctuations.Its total immersion in a botanical garden, energy autonomy, and innovative ventilation system make it a reference in ecological and bioclimatic architecture in Côte d'Ivoire.
