Energy-intensive building

Located on the shells' coast, south of Dakar, the project is imbued with this regional particularity taking as a starting point the spiral shape of a cymbium.

Oriented towards the east and sloping towards the sky, the building closes to the north and the south to protect itself from the sun and the harmattan.

The building opens to the west to capture the freshness of the trade winds by a set of volumes broken down into seven vaults with a bell tower that rises to 45 meters and plays the role of both signal and ventilation chimney.

In order to put in place a natural passive ventilation, the project is inspired by the functioning of the African termite mound which is an extremely efficient model of thermal regulation. It is also inspired by the operation of wind towers in East Africa, which have also been known for centuries for their effectiveness.

Sustainable development approach of the project owner

Promote the hiring of a local workforce for the construction of the building.

The Eiffage company honored this request and hired more than 50% of the construction team in the Mbour region

Architectural description

The woods all come from Cameroon forest labeled "respect for the environment and sustainable development". All non-reusable formwork timber for other sites was recovered to build the church choir chairs.

Building users opinion

Without knowing the work on the passive natural ventilation, the abbot told us when the final reception of the works in April 2019: What a freshness in this church!

    Large cunettes and retention basins

    Aménagement extérieurs / Gestion des eaux pluviales

    At the foot of the vaults were drawn large cunettes that are gravitarily connected to landscaped retention basins located below the site. The retention ponds compensate for the waterproofing created by the building and allow the infiltration of progressive water into the soil during the rainy season.

    The product was enthusiastically accepted by all stakeholders.


    more than 50% of the workforce was hired in the region

    Cooling by thermal print of the bell tower

    Génie climatique, électricité / Ventilation, rafraîchissement

    The verticality of the building has been exploited to the maximum to create natural ventilation day by "chimney effect" and at night the system turns by natural convection.

    The product was enthusiastically accepted by all stakeholders.
