Amazing Planet-Friendly Lodge Overlooks Wild African Serengeti

ByMyProperty Life

There are few sights like the vast expanse of the African Serengeti coming alive each morning as the sun wakes up its diverse residents. It is the stuff many a nature-lover dreams about and a holiday here is often a trip that many long for. Delivering all this and a whole lot more is the amazing Jabali Ridge Lodge designed by Nicholas Plewman Architects in the iconic Ruaha National Park in Tanzania. The eco-friendly lodge feels understated, natural and connects you with the spectacular sights and sounds of Africa at all times. The idea here was to create a ‘natural refuge’ that is invisible from a distance and comes alive as you approach its entrance.

The choice of materials is one that feels inherently ‘earthen’ and ensures that you feel surrounded by African goodness at all times. The shades of yellow and brown also allow the refuge to blend in with the backdrop and as you sit on its porch, you can take a look at the best of the Serengeti without ever having to venture into the hot tropical sun. A stunning infinity edge pool that is perched atop the highest point of the lot gives you an even more refreshing and breathtaking view and a stay here is one that will leave you with many unforgettable memories.

The overall design of the lodges is simple and smart with natural weather control mechanisms and passive cooling techniques keeping out the midday heat. Décor is as much ‘native’ as the lodge itself and you will find that these wild outposts feel both exciting and comfortable as you start exploring the best of Tanzania. [Photography: Stevie Mann]

  • Westwood House

    Located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville NC with distant north views of Mt Spivey and a narrow sloping lot, this wedge-shaped home is a response to site. We took into careful consideration a variety of site-specific inputs including views, sun orientation, prevailing winds, privacy, and natural cooling/heating techniques among others. The result is a functional, energy efficient home with a distinctive exterior shape and warm light filled interior spaces. The home’s dominant shed roof maximizes solar orientation for photovoltaic panels while also allowing for a double-height central atrium to flood the core of the house with natural light and exhaust hot air on hot summer days. The introduction of natural light into the core of the house reduces the need for artificial lighting on cloudy days, while the chimney effect created by opening large operable skylights at the top of the atrium reduces HVAC loads by bringing cool air up from the basement. This central atrium is an example of how a design feature can multitask –it brings natural light deep into the core of the house, it cools the house using the chimney effect, and it provides a place to grow plants which filter interior air. It also allowed us to minimize the street facing windows for privacy while still maintaining a light filled interior. Anchoring the bottom of the atrium are four large arched openings and a Spanish terracotta tile floor. The tile floor is a durable surface good for watering plants and for heavy foot traffic. A keyhole opening marks the boundary between private and public sides of the house while two of the arched openings frame an intimate eating nook and entry foyer with walls covered in locally milled southern yellow pine. The last arch has steps spilling out into a sunken living room and kitchen area with access to a back deck. Locally milled cypress, a naturally rot resistant wood, covers the exterior and anchors the strong geometry of the house to the site. In the end, our desire for functionality created something more than just an energy efficient home. The interior took on an unexpected bohemian feel; one that originated from a desire for light and functionality, but resulted in warm soft interior spaces that were comfortable and welcoming.
