GOTHIC HOUSE PRESERVATION PLANNING

The project included an extensive survey of existing architectural conditions, in-depth conversations with local stakeholders (ie: Metropolitan Assembly, Oguaa Traditional Council, and Ghana Heritage Conservation Trust), and a final proposal that included architectural programming, conceptual diagrams, perspectives, and phased planning.
