Villa Aram is a three-bedroom home tucked among the wild mango trees of Ngaparou. Built in 2022, it brings together the warmth of traditional Casamance homes with a contemporary, imaginative approach to architecture. At its heart is a fig tree, around which the house is arranged.

Constructed with natural materials sourced from the region, including earth bricks and local timber, Villa Aram is designed to sit thoughtfully within its surroundings. Its materials and layout respond to the local climate, while reflecting the skills and knowledge of the people who helped shape it. The result is a welcoming home that feels closely connected to its setting and the rhythms of everyday life.
