This residential house by FDG Africa features an open-plan design with natural lighting and ventilation.

Security is enhanced with perimeter fencing and smart lighting.

Features.

Open-Plan Living Spaces
FDG Africa supports the local economy and minimizes environmental impact by using locally produced bricks, granite, tiles, and bamboo/wood finishes. This also ensures better cost control and easier maintenance.
Sustainable Design Integration
FDG Africa emphasizes eco-conscious architecture. Homes often feature solar water heaters, natural ventilation systems, and rainwater harvesting tanks. Designs follow the natural slope of the land to reduce excavation and erosion, aligning with Rwanda’s green building codes.
Smart Utility Management Systems
Many homes are equipped with automated lighting, smart water metering, and energy-efficient appliances. These features help homeowners reduce utility costs and monitor consumption in real time.
