The name
Ewe · noun
Nu·me·la
1.molder — one who shapes something into its form.
Molders of dreams.Tailored spaces, built on trust.
Delali Abla Dziedzoave has led Atelier Seven63 since 2019. The practice now operates as Numela, an Accra design and project management firm for residential, commercial and remodelling work, built on one belief: that building in Ghana should be a journey of confidence, not complexity.
A member of the Ghana Institute of Architects and a 2019 alumna of the US International Visitor Leadership Program, Delali also founded Access Aid Ghana, which audits buildings and trains designers in barrier-free design. That instinct for how people really move through a house runs through every remodel.

Two storeys in blue and white with an orange cantilevered balcony, set behind laser-cut steel screens and reached by a planted stone stair.

From a tired floor plan to a house that fits.
Remodelling is the heart of the practice, backed by full design and on-site management for clients in Ghana and abroad.
- 01
Remodelling
Opening up tired layouts, adding rooms or storeys, reworking kitchens, baths and façades so an existing house lives like a new one.
- 02
Redesign
A fresh plan for the house you already own or have just bought: light, airflow and circulation reconsidered for Ghana’s climate.
- 03
Custom homes
Residential design from the first sketch, for owners who want a house drawn around how they actually live.
- 04
Owner’s representative
Planning, design coordination, procurement oversight and execution management, so someone on site answers to you and not the contractor.
- 05
Accessible design
Barrier-free homes for parents, grandparents and anyone who uses a wheelchair, from the founder of Access Aid Ghana.
How a remodel runs
Four stages, one architect answering to you.
01
A free 30-minute consultation
Talk the house through with Delali directly, whether you live in Accra or abroad, and leave knowing what is possible.
02
Design and permits
Climate-responsive drawings, revised with you until they are right, then taken through the permit process.
03
Procurement and site
Materials, quotes and contractors overseen on your behalf, with progress reported on the messaging apps you already use.
04
Handover
The finished house handed back to you, with the build checked against the drawings you approved.
Buying and remodelling
Found a house in the right street that is not quite right inside?
Buy for the location, then let Numela redesign the rest. Many of our completed homes are ready to move into today and ready to be made yours.
Work with Numela
Start with thirty minutes and the house you have.
Book the free consultation on Numela’s site, or ask our desk to introduce you and pass on the details of the home you are buying.
