Ghana Real Estate Sector: An Overview of Key Architectural Group’s Latest Residential Projects

Hussein Fakhry, Co-Owner and Managing Director of Key Architectural Group, gives an overview of Key Architectural’s latest residential projects in Accra and Akosombo, such as the Mulberry Clubhouse, Beyond and the AVA Residence.

“Recently, we have been working on residential projects, which are common ones that we usually do for real estate developers and for private companies or individuals, whether we are talking about apartment buildings, gated communities, or private residences. At the beginning of the pandemic, we have been involved in some nice, big gated community project called the Mulberry Clubhouse. It is like a gated community with 37 units of houses, a clubhouse and a lot of green areas and open spaces. When we were designing and working on that project, we were in the middle of the pandemic, and we put a lot of effort into looking at design elements and design concepts that would help us come up with something that would let the client feel safer in that environment. It is a high-end, gated community development in one of Accra’s prime locations. We are also working on a project called Beyond, which is also high-end, duplex apartments in a very prime location in Accra. Lately, we have also been involved in the design of another project called the AVA Residence, which is different types of apartments in a good location. In all of these, we have been able to define more of the public and private parts of the projects. We have put emphasis on the common areas, where people meet, how they meet and what the conditions in those areas are, such as the health, the ventilation, the space, the greenery, the landscape, etc. We worked on another type of project also, which is residential but also mixed-use outside of Accra, because today, people are looking to have a weekend vacation, go away from the cities and go more towards nature and closer to nice landscapes and good environmental conditions. So we worked on a project on the Volta River in a town called Akosombo which is very close to the famous Akosombo Dam of Ghana. On that project, the outdoor and environmental aspects have been key elements in the design and concept”, says Hussein Fakhry.
