Dar Es Salaam Office Block

Designed as a six-story workspace, this office block blends urban functionality with nature. Set on a leafy street, its design embraces biophilic principles, ensuring greenery is visible from every office – enhancing productivity and well-being.

A preserved tree at the entrance anchors the design, while floating planted balconies soften the facade. Deep overhangs provide shade from the Dar es Salaam heat, and expansive glazing maximises sea views. The result? A modern office environment that breathes with nature rather than shutting it out.

Lalibela Game Reserve

A complete rework of the arrival area at Lalibela Game Reserve, transforming it into a warm and welcoming space.
