Exploring New Horizons

Site Visit to Mombasa

Mombasa, a coastal gem on the shores of the Indian Ocean, offers a captivating blend of history, culture, and natural beauty.

Today's picture is from the team's site visit to Mombasa from our accommodation.

The brief is for a Wellness and Detox Retreat as part of a boutique hotel. The 4-star resort will offer a much-needed break from our technological lives, providing an off-grid stay, locally grown food, and uninterrupted ocean views.

The team will be visiting the city and other hotels locally. The aim is to explore different local construction techniques and delve further into materials.
