CLIENT RESEARCH
COMMUNITY
HOTEL DEVELOPER
BUSINESS PERSON
The people of Accra, Ghana are fully immersed in their culture. English is the official language, but Ga and Twi are two of the other widely spoken languages. This makes the community easy to speak to, yet visitors may still get to hear the native languages. The community will not visit the Gye Ahome Toa hotel, but they will be in contact with the visitors in places like the Makola Market. This hotel will bring the community more tourists which in turn generate more revenue.
Th hotel developer works alongside the design team throughout the duration of the project. They are the person who is funding the hotel project and makes the final decisions on things. They are concerned with the budget and finances, design and brand, and how the entire design and construction process is coming along.
Accra, Ghana is home to the seat of the government and hosts many embassies and high commissions. Business people are found traveling here from time to time. Since they are of higher class, they are in need of a nice boutique hotel to stay in. Accra only currently has one five star hotel. Gye Ahome Toa is located right outside of the business district.
VACATIONER Vacationers who travel to Accra are drawn to the natural beauties such as the beaches and forrests, as well as the rich culture. People enjoy coming to Accra to experience the African culture because it is one of the best English speaking parts of the country. Tourists can enjoy the Gye Ahoma Hotel after a long day of sightseeing. This boutique hotel is located in the heart of all the attractions and is located directly on the beach.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
GOALS
REVIVE
revive is the inspiration behind the design. Gye Ahome Toa literally means, “rest and relaxation” in Twi, Ghana’s
The word
most widely spoken tribal language. The concept influences the idea of reviving the mind, the body and spirit. To revives one’s mind is through nature. Within each space one can find a lot of natural textures such as wood, bamboo and greenery which leads to calming people and putting their mind at ease. One of the goals for the design of this hotel is to bring the outside in.
To revive the body is through the spa treatments. The Udo Aho spa, literally means “to bring the body to peace”. In these spaces people will be able to relax and revive themselves while they experience one of two natural African practices. To revive the spirit comes through Accra’s culture. Within the design people can find African artwork, African motifs and patterns, as well as pops of the color red, symbolic of Ghana’s independence.
- Create an easily accessible space for all users; pay attention to universal design, ADA and capitalize on way-finding elements (ex: floor patterns). -Design a hotel that makes people feel comfortable and at ease; incorporate Ghana’s culture, warm tones and inviting common areas. -Use sustainable practices in material selection; bring the outside in and take advantage of Ghana’s views to the beaches, blend the interior with the exterior. -Pay attention to details, especially lighting, it can really set a mood. -Create a unique pattern of variety and rhythm between the spaces with unique African textiles and materials.

AFRICAN STONE SPA ROOM In Africa’s culture, stones have a history of healing, thus Gye Ahome Toa is equipped with two hot stone spa treatment rooms. Hot stone massages provide a healing experience. Hot stones have a sedative effect that release chronic pain, reduce stress and promote deep relaxation.
HAMMAM STEAM ROOM The Hamman African beauty ritual is originally founded in Morocco, in North-Western Africa. Back in the day this is how North African women purified their bodies and bonded with others. This bath is a combined sauna and spa experience where the steam of the room and argon oil infused spa will help provide guests with a physical and emotional detox.

RESTAURANT
This 5 star restaurant is home to some of Ghana’’s famous dishes such as the Red Red, Waakye and Kelewele. The overall design comes from the concept of the Makola Market. This market is set up in different sections; produce, manufactured and imported foods, clothing, shoes, tools, medicine and event pots and pans. Thus, the different seating areas reflect that of the different market sections. In addition, the furnishings and fixtures are handcrafted to reflect the natural craft being produced at the market and the textiles and upholsteries chosen reflect the those within the market as well.
BAR
The bar and lounge area is an intimate setting that is still able to reflect Ghana’s outside beauty. The bar and lounge are located overlooking the beach and that is why the materials reflect the outdoor nature, helping bring that culture from the outside, in.

COLORS AND CULTURE The guest rooms in Gye Ahome Toa are obviously concerned with reflecting Ghana’s culture. The neutral colors with hints of gold and red are important as they are reflected in Ghana’s national flag. The red is representative of the blood of those who died in the country’s struggle for Independence and the gold stands for mineral wealth, as the city was given the gold coast nickname when they found all of the gold mines. Lastly, each room will have a unique, subtle, placement of a start which is representative of the lodestar of African freedom.
