If you want to get a dream African experience, you have to start thinking of Sossusvlei Desert Lodge in the middle of Namib Desert in Namibia. The exclusive ground level structures was designed by Fox Browne Creative in partnership with Architect Jack Alexander, as an initiative of andBeyond, the lodge offers a unique African hotel experience as the project’s brief entailed the clever repurposing of an existing building from the 1990s to create a contemporary yet timeless architecture, while staying appropriate to the incredible natural landscape.
The architectural gestures are simple and sensitive to the desert landscape
Following the intent of the design team to create exclusive experience for the visitor, the structures were designed in line with the natural setting to minimize human impact on the sensitive environment as the intended purpose were achieved through the intentional repurposing of the original 1990s buildings by crafting a contemporary, and befitting series of spaces accommodating the natural materials and a sense of desert-inspired luxury.
