The placement of the two distinct volumes within the enclosure enhances the exterior space and their spatial relationships. A seven-meter high earthen wall shields the site street noise, showcasing its architectural qualities. The office presents a clear facade parallel to the street, while a passage connects to the wider complex, featuring a garden and a varied pavilion-like residence. Landscaping with plants along the entrance will reduce dirt and noise while guiding visitors to the garden and residence. The will develop into a serene ethio-alpine space with medicinal and ornamental plants, complemented by a private courtyard garden. Lot 2 will become a vibrant orchard with avocado, mango, and papaya trees post-construction.
