SCI Djiala, Libreville

In the upper-class neighborhood of La Sablière, inLibreville, SCI Djiala is an urban townhouse with seven high-end luxury apartments and various amenities, including a swimming pool. The building makes efficient use of its narrow plots, resulting in a reduced ground floor that provides parking and garages for its occupants, a fully landscaped outdoor area, mechanical equipment such as a power supply generator, water tanks, and autonomous power meters. An elevated platform hosts the swimming pool.

The building's architecture features terracotta cladding those mimics brick stone walls. The façade is designed to maximize views of the nearby Atlantic Ocean and beaches. The butterfly metal roof collects rainwater from heavy equatorial downpours and channels it through carefully positioned rain pipes into vertical shafts inside the building core.

Large bay windows and glazed sliding doors open onto balconies that extend to capture beach views, providing additional outdoor living space for the apartment’s inhabitants.
