This project is located in Nianing, about 100 km south of Dakar on the "shell coast".
In order to reflect this regional particularity, we have taken as our starting point the shape of a cymbium.
This shape was then structured according to the constructive constraints of the design brief and according to an optimal bioclimatic orientation.
The result is a gradual volume divided into seven vaults with a bell tower that rises to 45 meters and acts as both a signal and a ventilation chimney.
