Eyes of Zanzibar

The complex is made of several mid-rise blocks around a shared courtyard, screened from the road by an entrance pavilion and parking. The main entrance is an arched gate with a carved timber door, a reference to the traditional doors of Stone Town, so guests know where they are from the first step. The upper floors step back, letting more light into the courtyard and giving balconies and roof terraces views over the garden and pool.

The facades combine white render, timber balcony soffits and perforated lattice screens on the stair cores. Every balcony is edged with planters, so the building reads as a vertical garden, while the deep overhangs keep the rooms shaded in the hottest hours. The courtyard holds a pool with a timber deck and a small bridge, loungers and umbrellas, palms, a restaurant behind an arched doorway, a playground and lit paved paths.

The format is built for investors who buy a unit and hand it over to management: repeatable apartments with balconies, shared hotel amenities and an on-site restaurant add up to a clear rental model. The gate and the green facades become a recognisable mark for sales and booking platforms. TVORZI developed the concept, the architecture and a full 3D visualisation package that the project's marketing is built on.
