Gye Nyame Condos – Accra, Ghana
Client: Gye Nyame Realty
SLD is pleased to announce our second major project in West Africa following appointment by Gye Nyame Realty to create a podium level landscape for their condos in central Accra. SLD worked through several schemes focusing on research into the area’s culture, landmarks, climate and client requirements.
The current design is based on the Volta reservoir, the largest man-made lake in Ghana. The scheme has been designed to emulate the flow of water from the Volta Lake through a network of different types of water feature, varying in speed, movement and shape.
Using water’s natural cooling properties, the water will provide an interesting visual feature and comfort for the residents of the condos. Lush tropical planting will surround the water courses imitating the natural plant life of Ghanaian water courses.
