iKKi Sushi Restaurant II

Koba Beach Resort is the firm's first architectural experience on the Mozambique coasts, in a historical moment of significant importance for the current State economic and social growth. In a terrain so difficult and fertile at the same time, the role of Architecture is of great responsibility: renewal and construction tasks to which we are called to cannot in fact exempt ourselves from a preventive exercise of reading and investigating local identity and foundational values, and to confront with them in order to give a new representation. The project is characterized by two parallel slats that house the rooms with a swimming pool and a botanical garden in the center open towards the ocean and confined behind by the large roof of the common areas (reception, bar and restaurant). The work made use only of local workers and natural and local construction materials (becoming 70% recyclable).
