Located on the outskirts of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, "Villa Clay" was designed at the confluence of regionalism, environmental sensitivity, and architectural authenticity. It is suited to a remote site with panoramic vistas, allowing its inhabitants to interact with the surroundings and to have captivating views in every direction. While to the north, the villa overlooks a lake as the water fluctuates through the year, the west and east sides open up to expansive landscapes. To the south, the villa gazes upon a quaint village and a time-honored church.
