SERENITY
Serenity, in the heart of Douala, lives in a site that represents the very spirit of Cameroon, virgin and indomitable. Surrounded by breathtaking views, it fills the senses with plenitude and unparalleled satisfaction, hence the name. Serenity is a building in motion, an art piece, occasionally morphing with every view angle. Its façade represents the serenity of Cameroon's savannah, overlaid by the complexity of its demographics and society.

Aerial Views
The building represents a monolithic travertine frame, deconstructed by a staggered pattern of vertical blocks, optimized to provide maximum views and lighting to the interior spaces. On the other hand, the lateral elevations house facade-wide balconies and curtain walls, celebrating and accentuating the stone pattern on the sides. The veranda extend towards the penthouse, creating a roof-top private garden and infinity pool.
Elevation View Showing Penthouse Level
The penthouse overrules the lower levels with its vertical gardens, mechanically irrigated, and private forest enlivened by local flora. The forest was carefully designed to create its ecosystem while attracting native birds and insects.
