THE AIM OF THE STUDIO ‘MIX IT UP’ IS TO DESIGN A MULTISTOREY BUILDING, WHICH FULFILLS DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS: IT PROVIDES APARTMENTS SUITABLE FOR GHANAIAN
FAMILIES; GIVES SPACE FOR COMMERCIAL, SUCH AS SHOPS AND RESTAURANTS; COMPLEMENTS THE FORMER USES WITH A COMMUNITY PROGRAM E.G. SPORTS FACILITIES.
THE SUB-SAHARAN CLIMATE AND THE LOCATION OF THE PROJECT IN A METROPOLITAN LIVELY CITY WILL LEAD TO SITE-SPECIFIC DESIGNS. INTELLIGENT LOW-TECH SOLUTIONS
ARE SOUGHT TO KEEP THE ENERGY CONSUMPTION AS LOW AS POSSIBLE.
