Located in Bingerville, Ivory Coast, the Villa Riposo is a twin house duplex that combines modern geometry with the warmth of a family home, both inside and out. The accommodation is split into two main sections, one on each floor. The public areas below featurefullyglazedwallsandsweepingviews. Upstairs, each residents private bedrooms take a more conservative approach to the French window area, with clever solutions used to isolate the interior from the gaze of curious passers-by. This upper level features wood paneling on its exterior walls and balconies, warming up the combination of glass and concretethatdominateselsewhere.
