The availability

A huge percentage of the carbon footprint in the construction process is related to the transportation of building materials. Our structures are based on locally produced bricks, coral rock available locally, the interiors will be equipped with furniture produced by local carpenters. All this to minimize the impact on the natural environment and to support the local craft and enterprise. In addition, we minimize car traffic on the estate by marking out one parking zone and promoting pedestrian walkways surrounded by greenery.

The geometry of buildings, protruding terraces, deep arcades, openwork blinds, all these elements help to minimize the problem of overheating interiors, thus saving energy required for their air conditioning. Basically, each of them has the ability to ventilate and with the use of ceiling fans, we are able to comfortably use the premises without the use of air conditioners.

In Zanzibar and around the world, fresh water is a precious resource and we should do everything we can to save it. The wastewater treatment system is based on a series of bioreactors that allow almost 100% purification of used water and its reuse in toilets and for watering gardens. This allows to reduce water consumption by up to 80%.

Heating of water used in the showers takes place almost without the use of external energy. Solar collectors located on the roofs ensure that our taps will not run out of hot water.
