Tucked on lush expansive grounds, a villa in paprika tinged with blue accents contrasts a residence in white cast with black highlights. BlueGreenPaprika is a love letter to tropical design and lifestyle with its open and shaded terraces, cozy nooks circled by verdant species and wafting breezes that send scintillating ripples over the pool – proposing a refreshing dip.

Entranced by a wide shaded open air terrace that breaks the transition from outside to inside, the villa’s doors lead into a corridor lobbying the kitchenette with either end facing onto the respective rooms; which loop to the opposite corridor. This avenue proposes the bathroom on the interior and the outdoor terrace fitted with a shower on the exterior, looping back to the entry corridor and living terrace.

The path from the villa’s porch lead to the pool and hut surrounded by a refreshing scene that unfolds with the gaze; this lounging spot is tucked in a corner of the property enclaved by lush and colourful blooms: paradise birds, broody willows, dracaenas, ferns, evergreens …

The villa presents a functional exhibition by Cult Meraki; objects, products and sets for experience and order. Aside stays, the venue also hosts events. Our gardens are divided into the 2 zones; the rear garden is reserved for the host and guests of the villa, while the front garden is open for events and experiences.

The trees on site nest chattering avians – kingfishers, hornbills, parakeets, barbets, starlings, coucals, hoopoes, crows and plantain-eaters – that perch and swoon on the canopies to the scat and whistle of the winds. The residence has 3 dogs; an ageing patriarch –13! and two exuberant pups.

Blue Green Paprika sets a serene haven in the bustling city of Accra. The residence was revamped out of a decrepit property resplendent in the 70’s by Architect Cleland Tevie. It imprints with an artful and eccentric palette that is a play on hue and texture, light and shadow, soft and bold, bright and mellow.

Grounded in a central part of the city, the venue is an easy pace to many burgeoning scenes that fuel Accra’s bustling and creative spirit.
