Orange Bamako

Both spectacular and simple, the building’s pronounced verticality is especially reflected in the façade design: it asserts the identity of a structure that embodies the transformation of the neighborhood it integrates into. Composed of fixed vertical metallic fins, the façade features a colorimetric treatment in soft gold tones, harmonizing perfectly with the interior architecture’s material palette, which plays with warm shades reminiscent of copper, gold, and fine wood. The metallic fins are almost entirely matte, effectively preventing glare while generously redirecting light into the interior spaces.

The dynamic façade of sun-shading fins serves as an effective response to the region’s significant climate challenges. Oriented at a 45-degree angle to the façade, their positioning protects interior spaces from nearly all direct solar radiation throughout the day. This design greatly enhances comfort, the quality of workspaces, and significantly improves the building’s energy efficiency.

Fully integrated into its environment, the project features various spaces that open to the outside. Its large openings, combined with its R+12 height, offer expansive views of the neighborhood and the surrounding city. The building’s volume also reveals generous terraces on levels 5 and 9, providing users with true outdoor relaxation areas.

Designed as a green filter, the building’s forecourt creates a buffer zone between the structure and the avenue, helping to reduce urban nuisances. The landscaped surroundings offer additional benefits:
The planting of trees and shrubs enables natural thermal regulation—essential in this tropical climate—and improves air quality and ambient oxygen levels.
