How do you design a hotel in the middle of nature without taking over the landscape?
Perhaps by starting with what is already there.
Seven pavilions, carefully placed within the existing vegetation, rather than imposed upon it. Preserving the trees, working with the shade, the breeze, the views and the light — following the natural rhythm of the site.
Local materials, traditional techniques and the hands of local craftsmen become part of the language of the project — woven roofs, natural fibres, timber, textures and imperfections that give each space its soul. And one bold colour, chosen to bring the place to life — Klein blue.
The idea was never to compete with nature, but to let architecture disappear into it.
Less construction. More nature.
Less decoration. More craftsmanship.
Architecture that doesn’t simply belong in the landscape, but seems to have grown from it. The Palms Zanzibar The Zanzibar Collection Caroline Notté
