Construction

The buildings in Nzulezo are constructed using an exoskeletal frame of wood gathered by the local people from the forest environs. There is already a venture of the male townspeople into stilt construction elsewhere such as the Aqua Makarios restaurant (https://aquamakarios.com/) in Takoradi. This is one of the possible avenues that can be explored in a cross-cultural knowledge exchange with professionals who build with and on water across the globe.

Some contemporary sources (from Instagram) showing the traditional styles that are already almost wiped out are listed below.
