These luxury apartments in Dar es Salaam have been designed to the highest specifications. The site is just two blocks from the sea and all living areas of each apartment are oriented for maximum views. The set-back terraces are designed to create useable outdoor space that is protected from the heat of the sun.

Market constraints were a fundamental consideration in the project’s design. Because of the limited availability of construction materials, the structure is built entirely in concrete and glass, both readily available in the local area. Similarly, the simple construction meets local labour skills.
