International Development Award Winner West Hills Mall
The 27 458m² West Hills Mall is situated along the Cape Coast Highway, 25km west of Accra, Ghana. West Hills Mall presents retail of an international standard to Accra. Seamless shopfronts serve Ghanaian, South African and European merchandise along a mall with high-quality finishes. Continuous clerestory windows fill the mall volumes with ample daylight to coax the predominantly external retail culture indoors. Restaurants overlooking a square, cinemas and line shops are anchored by Shoprite and Palace (a local retailer comparable to Game). African adinkra symbolism is represented abstractedly via “duafe” comb walls, piercing the entrances, and a stitching of dark bands of louvres ties the façade together.
