Designed to be used by rock stars and royalty, this wonderful project is a mini resort within a private game park to the western edge of South Africa bordering on Botswana. With a world class resort already existing within the private game reserve, our clients brief called fora ‘super exclusive and sophisticated mini-resort’ to complement their existing facilities in a location within the game reserve that provided the best game viewing.
The new building is to be in keeping with the existing resort feel of earth formed walls and grass thatched roof forms. The building has been designed to allow large family groups to holiday together in the one place, or for exclusive use with an entourage in tow with four superior quality suites and two bunk rooms.
The facilities provide guests with a fully serviced experience including all food, drinks and game viewing. The unfenced building sits completely open within the game reserve with the wild game able to come right up against the building.
The planning provides distinct zones that allow the feeling of complete privacy to each of the foursuites which enjoy the best view to the game along with the living areas. The living spaces have been designed with double vistas to both the game view and outlook while also opening onto the pool terrace to the north.
