ARIS KAFANTARIS

The brief called for the preliminary design of a hi-tech baking goods facility in Accra, Ghana. The proposal was part of a submission to a government co-funded programme by an established Greek company seeking new investment opportunities. The design focused on optimising complex programmatic needs while at the same time acheiving outstanding energy saving standards through the use of bioclimatic strategies. The location was unusual in that Accra lies very near to the Equator, meaning almost no variation in sunpath trajectories throughout the year: this was the leading parameter for the design of openings.
