Architecture and Interior Design The garden-like landscape, as designed by Ferdinand Leffler, resembles a traditional African village, with thatched roofs, palm trees, and greenery lending privacy to each Jestico + Whiles-designed bungalow and villa. Natural materials are abundant throughout, from the wooden beams used in the structures to the refined pieces of furniture that embody the overall African-chic visual identity. Many of the private terraces also play host to hammocks and sun loungers. Prague’s Jestico + Whiles studio combined modern design with traditional African and Asian pieces at Zuri creating a property that is both ecologically and socially sensitive. The multidisciplinary studio used natural and local materials, as well as making the most of Zanzibar’s heritage of craftsmanship: bungalows, villas, and communal spaces are characterized by artefacts from local markets, furniture of polished and exposed woods, and 1960s-style chairs, stools, and lamps. Sustainability at Zuri Zanzibar Ecology and sustainability are the central pillars of Zuri Zanzibar’s concept. The hotel proudly carries out numerous socially responsible activities that touch on areas of water management, environmental protection, conservation, and bettering the lives of locals through education programs and long-term local initiatives that improve the Zanzibari population’s daily life.
