Terrou-Bi Hotel

As part of its renovation, the Terrou-Bi Hotel—an icon of luxury hospitality in Dakar—has commissioned Patriarche to envision the interior design concept for the hotel and its expansion.

These transformations, which will nearly double its capacity (adding over 100 rooms), aim to elevate the hotel into a premium destination and a showcase of Senegalese craftsmanship.

The project’s goal is to blend local art de vivre with innovation and a contemporary interpretation of African culture. Our mission includes the design of guest rooms and common areas (lobby, restaurant, amphitheater, meeting rooms, terrace and patio, conference space, circulation areas, and restrooms), all of which will enhance the resort’s offerings.

The overall concept draws inspiration from the name Terrou-Bi, meaning “Land on the Horizon.” This promise of tranquility is expressed through a subtly defined horizon line and a palette of refined mineral tones and textures. Horizontal lines guide the eye outward, while the chosen colors and materials reflect the surrounding landscapes. The spaces offer gentle transitions and an atmosphere that is authentic, serene, and welcoming.

This unique identity is rooted in Senegal—particularly Dakar— while offering a distinctly contemporary interpretation tailored to an international clientele.
