Jumba Nungwi — architecture that raised the investment case

Situation

An investor on Zanzibar needed more than a resort design: a product that would convince co-investors, work as a sales asset and as a rental asset, and stand out in a market full of white boxes.

What we did

• Biomimetic architectural concept: 190 apartments, 40 villas, restaurant cluster with waterfalls, spa, parking.
• Six accommodation formats sized for two business models — sale and rental.
• Full investment presentation: phased CAPEX ($18.8M), sales scenarios ($39–55M revenue) and rental scenarios (NOI $4.4–9.6M/yr).
• Brand, renders and film for the investor and buyer audience.
• Submissions to international awards to turn the concept into third-party proof.

Result

An award the client can google is worth more than any render.
