Industry is often imagined as purely functional.
Our intention was the opposite, it was to give the district and identity.

The building acts as the face of the whole compound. The lifted massing opens the ground floor to people encouraging movement. The flowing ribbon like structure organizes the building zones while at the same time creates shades for the facade. The building is workplace and at the same time a statement of innovation and development.

Our proposal for Jabal Resort, set within the verdant mountain forests of Entoto, envisions a structure that feels simultaneously rooted in its landscape and lifted above it. The architecture is shaped to harmonize with its natural context while offering a refined sense of luxury and exclusivity. From the entrance, the design invites guests in, gently leading them toward the breathtaking panoramic views.

Each lodge is designed for privacy, opening directly to the sweeping valley below and seamlessly integrating with the surrounding environment.

Making quick sketches over clay models are so much fun since we can iterate on a number of ideas very quickly while having a clear picture of what the finished form would look like.
