The Seasons House / MOST Monti Studio

In Conakry, Guinea, MOST Monti studio completed The Seasons, an unconventional residential project comprising a multi-functional villa with contemporary interiors, a garden, a mosque, a pool, and a basketball court. Raising on a large, unoccupied hilly area that slopes towards the sea, the project blurs the lines between urban and residential. The project is based on three simple principles: sea view, division of space and privacy. The Seasons is nested on a slope between an urban district of Guinea’s capital city and the beach on the other side. “Architecturally speaking, The Seasons' 7,000 sqm is quite a peculiar size: residential or urban?” Indeed, the project has been conceived as a small, self-sufficient ecosystem centred around a 2,000 sqm villa on two levels. Like a district scaled down to family size, the project features a beauty salon, a chapel, a spa, a playground and a gym.
