Africeramics

As Rwanda’s first ceramic tiles factory, the Africeramics plant represents a straightforward and efficient production layout designed to inspire modernisation in the country’s humble district of Nyanza. The overall space is divided into sections organised in sequence to reflect the process of manufacturing tiles: the raw materials are delivered and stored at one end as the finished products are packaged and displayed on the other. The kilns are strategically placed in a vast area in between to emphasize their role in ceramic production. Evidently, this high ceiling structure is built primarily in clay to highlight the material’s durability.
