A CURATED AFRICA

Feb 1, 2026

Edition 011 | Modular Bahia

Guided by timber modules that set a natural pace for how the house is experienced. Wood is the structure, the enclosure, and the atmosphere. Its repetition across walls, ceilings, decks, and circulation paths establishes a steady rhythm.Developed by UNA barbara e valentim, the project combines industrialized solutions with bioclimatic strategies - responding precisely to environmental conditions and the desire for a more landscape-integrated occupation.

Traditional construction techniques are used and nothing is disguised, embellished, decorated . Earth looks like earth. Straw reads as straw. Texture, grain, and imperfection are visible and expressive.

A CURATED AFRICA

Edition 009 | Singita Lebombo

Lebombo is inspired by eagle nests tucked into cliff faces, the suites hover rather than rest, minimizing contact with the land. A pared-back palette, open decks, and exposed circulation dissolve the boundary between built form and landscape, creating a sense of effortlessness that feels both deliberate and deeply respectful.

A CURATED AFRICA

Edition 008 | Alliance Franco-Senegalaise

Stripes wrap columns, ceilings, and walkways in layered rhythms, setting the tone for a space that feels in constant motion. From the outset, the installation signals a playful yet deliberate approach, where repetition becomes a language of identity rather than mere decoration.
