Ecobank Headquarters, Accra, Ghana
The Ecobank Headquarters in Accra is one of West Africa’s most prominent office developments, comprising more than 18,000 m² of premium commercial space. Designed as a landmark corporate headquarters, the building showcases contemporary architecture through its distinctive elliptical form, layered façade composition, and high-performance building envelope that responds to both the region’s climate and the client’s ambitious sustainability objectives.
Tehnomarket supplied the ALUMINIK CS55 Continual curtain wall system, forming nearly 13,000 m² of glazed façade across the complex. The façade is complemented by vertical and horizontal aluminium sun-shading elements together with a sophisticated double-skin façade (DSF) constructed from perforated aluminium panels. This advanced façade solution combines exceptional thermal performance, effective solar control, and a refined architectural appearance, while the ALUMINIK CS55 Continual system has been independently tested to achieve a curtain wall thermal transmittance of Ucw = 0.64 W/m²K.
A defining architectural feature of the project is its sculptural glass envelope, crowned by a transparent glazed top section that extends beyond the roofline and emphasizes the building’s elegant curved geometry. The perforated secondary façade, finished in Euramax Moonstone coating and supported by a custom-designed aluminium substructure developed specifically for the project, creates depth, visual rhythm, and enhanced environmental performance while maintaining the building’s iconic architectural identity.
The Ecobank Headquarters stands as an outstanding example of Tehnomarket’s expertise in delivering complex façade engineering solutions for large-scale international projects, combining advanced curtain wall technology, bespoke aluminium systems, and exceptional architectural performance.
