With all of the rain we’ve had over the last week, we can’t help but wanting to climb back into the hot tubs at Silver Back Lodge, watching the mist roll through the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest across the valley.

Building sites are often messy places. Sometimes it can be difficult to envision the finished product between scaffolding & shutter work.

For every project, a full set of renders is posted around each building. This keeps everyone pulling in the same direction of a shared vision.

At the completion of every project, we take the time to go through the photos taken during construction. This helps to understand how decisions were made, & what impact that had on the growth of the design.

We’re excited to share a new private Homestead, deep in the bush of Kwa-Zulu Natal.

We often forget how old trees can be, a trunk as thick as a forearm can be half a century old. Keeping that in mind, this design loops its way around the existing trees dotting the site, creating unique views from each space.

The architecture itself takes cues from the freeform nature of the canopy interspersed between the buildings, blending nature with the design.

During the design process, we constantly refer back to the first principles that anchor the concept.

Change is inevitable, but those changes need to be managed to ensure that the outcome is positive, months ahead of implementation.

As a project develops so do skills, insights, & connections.

As much as we try to design every element before construction begins, we often develop more nuanced ideas while the project evolves. Staying open to new ideas, without losing track of expectations of time & quality is a profoundly delicate balancing act.

Sketching is a means of communicating design intention in a universal language.

While Technical Drawings convey the means of construction, there are far better ways of sharing design intention with the skilled contractors we work with throughout Africa.
