Resort – 7 Diamonds – Zanzibar

This resort is located in Zanzibar island in Indian ocean. The design concept of this project is inspired by Santorini island which  is one of the Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea in Greece. Build an eco-lodge resort that meets the needs of today’s tourists. With this explanation and considering the obsolescence of Zanzibar’s local house construction methods and the very limited sources and books of Zanzibar’s exact methods of construction.  The first challenge of the project was to find these methods. The second was to build a sustainable building with maximum resilience, minimum negative environmental impact, restoration of materials, and their return to the life cycle. The third challenge was the difficulty of transport of some materials imported from outside. 7  Diamonds eco-lodge, which is contrary to usual patterns of hotels and residential spaces, should not have been a place for a shortstop but a place that is designed for users to pause and “stay”. Today’s life is flowing in the soul and body of yesterday, and this combination of the necessities of today’s life with yesterday’s space spirit creates a postmodern atmosphere for users.
