DeRoche Projects is an Accra-based architecture and design practice working globally to create innovative, community-driven spaces, founded by Glenn DeRoche. Their work thrives within productive tensions: digital explorations of form meet hands-on making, high-tech precision intersects with low-tech ingenuity, and contemporary construction practices meet indigenous building traditions. Sustainability is deeply embedded in the design process, with projects fostering ecological and social resilience through regenerative materials, passive design strategies, and resource-conscious construction methods.
Notable works and collaborations include Backyard Community Club and dot.ateliers | Ogbojo in Accra; exhibition design for Amoako Boafo at Gagosian Mayfair, Roberts Projects, and Museo di Palazzo Grimani; the NSAA Pavilion at Wooyang Art Museum; the Volta Pavilion at the Belvedere Museum; and Surf Ghana Collective, exhibited at the 18th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia.
