Hive Earth
Hive Earth is a multi-disciplinary space based in Accra, Ghana, co-founded by Christian Kwame Deheer in 2017. The studio comprises architects and designers who specialize in using locally sourced and eco-friendly materials for construction, interior decor, art, and design. Drawing from African tradition and by using local and natural materials, the studio explores the innovative and sustainable potential of earth. In particular, the studio has conducted extensive research into building multiple structures with rammed earth – a combination of earth, gravel, silt, clay, and lime/cement – as well as agro-waste. Recent projects by the studio include an unstabilized rammed earth library with NGO Archifair, and a four-storey office block in Accra with Adjaye Associates.
