Our Collaboration
The collaboration between MAJET and Collett-Design Associates is rooted in Amadou and Anthony’s shared passion for exquisite architectural design and their connection to Africa—Anthony originating from Zambia and Amadou from The Gambia. Their collaborative journey began with The Glebe, an iconic super-prime residential project in Chelsea, London, where Amadou served as Construction Manager for the Principal Contractor and Anthony as Design Architect.
From the very beginning, their collaboration has been built on mutual respect and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Anthony was greatly impressed by Amadou’s proactive approach, his ability to navigate complex challenges with precision and grace, and his dedication to delivering solutions that surpassed expectations. Even during the project’s most demanding phases, Amadou’s professionalism and problem-solving acumen distinguished him, earning Anthony’s highest regard.
United by a vision to create contemporary architecture that honours Africa’s rich cultural heritage while embracing modern sophistication, Amadou and Anthony have laid the foundation for a transformative collaboration. Together, they are introducing an elevated standard of luxury living to The Gambia, crafting spaces that harmonise cultural depth with timeless elegance.
