Background

[edit]

Villagio Vista is a three building apartment complex built with a boldly patterned facade, with inspiration from Kente, a traditional Ghanaian clothing garment.[3] It consists of 3 buildings, Villagio Alto (yellow patterned), Villagio Azure (red patterned), which is the tallest building in Accra[4] and Villagio Aqua (green patterned).[5]
