Akwaba World restaurant

We were engaged for the opening of a new multifaceted venue in the heart of Abidjan, located on the prestigious Desjardins street.

Balancing roles as a financial center, coworking space, and dining area, the challenge was to create a format that would cater to diverse client types and accommodate various dining occasions and styles.

Under the guidance of the client and architect Maud Soullimant, we also focused on creating a space that is both welcoming and functional, considering both customer experience and operational efficiency backstage.

Akwaba World thus emerges as a friendly place that offers cuisine deeply rooted in Ivorian tradition, yet also embraces global culinary trends with international and popular recipes and formats.
