01 OFFICE HQ. | ACADEMIC

Concept: Osmosis Software

Period: 5th year 1st Semester

Site: Biherawi, Addis Ababa

Program: Bank & Insurance Head Quarters

Site Area: 16,000 sqm

Design: Individual

Project on the website*Click me*

Description:

This iconic twin-tower high-rise embodies the concept of osmosis, balancing work and leisure while blending concrete, glass, and nature.

Designed as headquarters for a bank and insurance company, it integrates essential financial services with green, human-centered spaces. The building’s placement and orientation were strategically influenced by the nearby Commercial Bank of Ethiopia headquarters, as its towering presence and shadows significantly impacted the site conditions. Rather than viewing this as a constraint, the design embraced it as an inspiration—developing a dynamic form that adapts to the environment while creating a distinctive architectural identity.

Floor Plan

Description:

The ground floor serves as an urban interaction hub, seamlessly connecting the building with its surroundings. Semi-public programs occupy the podium, transitioning into the office spaces housed within the twin towers.

These office spaces are thoughtfully divided into three key zones: customer service-based offices, department-based offices, and executive suite offices—ensuring optimal functionality and privacy while maintaining a cohesive spatial flow.

02 Housing + | ACADEMIC

Period: 4th year 1st Semester

Site: Ehil Berenda, Addis Ababa

Program: Housing plus Urban Farming

Site Area: 1420 sqm

Design: Partnership

Project on the website*Click me*

Description:

The design project is Located in Ehil Berenda, Addis Ababa, and focuses on addressing the issue of affordable housing by integrating urban farming. Through detailed urban analysis and the urban proposal, we located our site near the urban farming area and the river, as well as the main residential zone.

The concept of the design is Integration, which aims to bring together various stakeholders within a single housing block: urban farmers, service providers, and laborers. After specifying our target group we went through deep design process based on the site analysis, existing determinant factors and also functional requirements.

Concept: Integration Software Used: Role: Designer

Description:

Our extensive analysis and case studies on housing and urban farming enabled us to quantify the housing units per block—55 units—and determine the specific demands and production rates of urban farming, with six different plantations (Tomato, Carrot, Letuce, Swiss chard, Green beans, and Cabbage) yielding 21.52 tons every six months on a 1130 m2 area. This detailed analysis guided our spatial arrangement, unit typology specification (studio, one-bedroom), and urban farming specifications.
