Detached house in exposed brick, opening onto the garden through a veranda and a loggia.

Vontovorona, Analamanga
Programme
Detached house
Levels
Ground floor + first floor + attic

The villa is laid out over two storeys and an attic, under a double-pitched roof with a cross gable. On the garden side, a veranda on the ground floor and a full-width loggia upstairs extend the living spaces and shelter the façade from sun and rain. Exposed brick with light-coloured quoins echoes the vocabulary of the houses of the Malagasy Highlands.
