One of the things that impressed me the most on my travels through West Africa was the clay mosques: the toron scaffolding, the elements of Dogon architecture, the beauty of vernacular materials and know-how, and the low environmental impact.Lit by nothing but candles by night as congregants pray on the flat roof, these mosques are spectacular examples of vernacular forms of sacred architecture.This is a concept house loosely inspired by the mosques of West Africa. Featured are ablution rooms, libraries, open air and covered lounge spaces, with water features aplenty.Designer: @reverse.orientalism [IG]

Aranya Rainforest Villa By @mohamm@mohammmad__hosein [IG]Mohammad Hossein Rabbani Zade: I have conceptualized this project, so here is the story about this beautiful project:The Aranya Rainforest Villa is a stunning example of modern architecture that flawlessly integrates into its natural surroundings. The villa’s clean lines, sleek surfaces, and unique blend of white concrete and warm wood planks create a striking contrast against the lush tropical rainforest surrounding it. As you approach the villa, you are greeted by a long driveway that leads up to the main entrance. The driveway is lined with tall palm trees, which provide a sense of grandeur and privacy.
