This literally took my breathe away! It's unbelievable! And the lady is so multi-talented, it's crazy! I'm not surprised her phone has been ringing none stop. It looks like something from a fairy tale. Like it got whisked up in a cyclone and got dropped in Ghana. Unbelievable. There's nothing really to compare it with. It just screams unique from the outside to the inside. I hope when she tires of it she turns it into an Air BnB. People would pay good money to spend a night there.
It's so different, really beautiful! She is truly talented!
Agreed! I'm starting my journey to build a home in Ghana. I'm completely amazed by this home. Is it possible to connect with someone to assist me with a similar project?
Dream building is beautiful GHANA to the world 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🌍✊
A basement is slghtly cooler and I find brick and concrete houses cooler and if painted white they partly reflect the heat. Trees planted around the house are cooling but solar panels could provide shade and electricity for air conditioning.
She is an artist with beautiful vision
Unfortunately the creator/designer was difficult to hear clearly at times but fortunately, i replayed the entire interview numerous times and sent it to my family and friends.
Ophelia Akiwumi is so talented and a visionary force in Ghana and the world!!
Someone need to fly this mommy out into my country 🇨🇲.
I have been living in Ghana l the for a year. I am currently in the US to sell my home so I may buy a home in the Accra area. I am looking at alternative building materials and this caught my eye, I simple love it. I'm am a nature person and it's so me. I will be out to find out more.

That's why the interior is so cool. But I know what you mean. I prefer light-filled spaces. This looks like somewhere you go to rest your body and mind.
Where is her info?
Why not supply this woman's business email please?
It's kinda tough having had to decide between content and host....
