SITES ANALYSIS AND CONTEXT

The project site is located in the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo which is Kinshasa.

The bloc is in the commune of Ngaliema, at the crossroads of avenues kasavubu and macampangne. Currently on this land there is a gas station called «ML station», a supermarket block, a training center and a church.

Site Study

The study of the land to allow a good composition allowed us to clear the following spaces:

• open-air pedestrian space in yellow, • the pedestrian space under stilts in green, • the space for rents and interior sales • finally a parking area not far from the church.

It should be noted that the various existing buildings on the land will be razed to make way for the future commercial structure.

The different floors of our building are mainly made up of shops on the ground floor, on the first floor we have the laundry services as well as the restaurants, from the second to the fourth floor we have mainly the hotel rooms and on the terrace of the fifth level will just receive an open restaurant with private consumption boxes.

The facade of this building will be similar to the faces of a waffle with very visible apparent structures and openings acting as a window plus balcony.
