Zanzibar
Architecture & Villa Design in Zanzibar
We design villas, boutique hotels and coastal developments in Zanzibar, from land study and concept through to construction support with local coordination.
Designing in Zanzibar
Land, climate and privacy shape every decision.
Zanzibar rewards buildings that are open to the breeze and closed to the midday sun. We plan around orientation, shade, airflow, planting and the walk from arrival to the water, using materials that age well in salt air.
What We Design
Private Villas
Homes and holiday villas designed for the climate, privacy and the sea.
Rental & Investment Villas
Villas planned to perform as short-stay rentals.
Boutique Hotels
Small hotels with a clear identity and a considered guest journey.
Beach Houses
Light, open houses set close to sand and shade.
Resorts & Retreats
Low-density retreats built around landscape and water.
Hospitality Concepts
Positioning, unit mix and experience design for new destinations.
