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]

  • Hillside Sanctuary

    The owner of this property came to Hoedemaker Pfeiffer looking for a personal retreat inspired by a home lost to fire decades earlier in the hills of Appalachia. The firm’s task was not to recreate that home but rather to give its spirit new form in the Pacific Northwest. Taking inspiration from its remote site in the San Juan Islands, our team envisioned a series of simple stone volumes. From that concept emerged the main house and a guest house, each responding to its own unique location on the site. Together they provide friends and family with comfortable accommodation while offering a sanctuary for the owner at the main home. Taking full advantage of sweeping views of Puget Sound, the main home is sited on a small plateau high on top of a steeply-sloping hillside. With a view on one side and a road on the other, the site suggested a stone plinth and stone wall to form the base and rear of the house. A pair of stone fireplace volumes support the concept, rising together to form the boundaries of a central stone staircase that separates the main level into public and private realms. Atop the low stone base then perches a light-filled wood structure. Its simple shed roof tips low in front to protect from the summer sun while offering space for a photovoltaic array above. Winter light in turn penetrates deep into the main living spaces through a wall of glass running continuously across building’s south elevation. The relative height difference between this wood pavilion and that of the adjacent stone volume also allows consistent north light to flood into the primary living spaces via a series of clerestory windows, which release warm air high on the leeward side of the structure. The site for the guest house came with more significant technical challenges. The concept begins with a stone tower set near the center of the small circular parcel. Rising high above steeply-sloping grade, it acts as a three-dimensional datum through which feature program elements are allowed to puncture. The main entry offers ease of access to the project’s public spaces through a simple, full-height opening cut into the stone volume’s north elevation. The stair, comprised of a concrete base below large casement windows, allows natural light to fill the main stairway as it leads guests toward the bedrooms located at the home’s lower level. Opposite the entry, the view deck extends from the great room, cantilevering far above grade. The dining room, finally, was conceived as a three-sided glass object floating in a forest of trees. Two steel beams carry its entire weight and extend deep into the floor system. To enhance the concept, our team preserved trees only a few feet from the dining room by developing custom retaining walls capable of avoiding critical root zones.
