Villa OC
A modern villa overlooking the ocean
Located on the seafront in Yoff, Villa OC faces the Atlantic horizon in a lively neighborhood steeped in history. Set on a slightly overhanging plot, it enjoys an unobstructed view of the ocean, while blending seamlessly into the surrounding urban fabric.
Constructed from raw earth bricks, a local material with low environmental impact, the villa asserts a sober modernity that respects its context. The use of earth, combined with a reinforced concrete structure, reconciles solidity, thermal comfort and contemporary aesthetics. The walls, in warm mineral hues, resonate with the light of Dakar, changing with the hours and the seasons.
The architectural style of Villa OC is distinguished by its clean lines, generous volumes and custom-designed wrought-iron railings, which add a handcrafted, poetic touch to the whole. These metal elements, both graphic and airy, offer security and lightness, while subtly interacting with the light and sea air.
Openings are designed to promote natural ventilation and maximize sea views. Large terraces extend the interior spaces, inviting open, fluid living that looks outwards.
Villa OC is a residence with character, where modern architecture combines with the wisdom of vernacular materials. It embodies a new approach to living, one that is elegant, sustainable and deeply rooted in its environment.
