Worofila

Dakar, Senegal
Founded in 2019 by Nzinga B. Mboup and Nicolas Rondet, Worofila is a Dakar-based studio specializing in bioclimatic architecture. Their work integrates passive design strategies and locally sourced materials—raw earth bricks, vegetation, and typha—to create climate-responsive buildings. Projects range from residential to institutional, including the TER stations, the French Institute’s garden and gallery, the Vertical House in Ngor, and the Sendou Home. Upcoming works include the Rainforest Gallery in Benin City, built using traditional cob construction from the ancient Benin Kingdom, and Labo x Fou, a training center for sustainable construction in Sebikotane. Worofila’s approach reconnects with ancestral building techniques and emphasizes low-tech, resource-conscious methods relevant to the climate crisis.
