Hut on the Okavango
Birds and Water
The Okavango Delta (Botswana) is a context that is ever-changing. The delta presents a spectacle on itself due to the constant movement of water (11 km³ / yr) through the inland delta. The yearly flooding of the delta dictates the movement of all life forms within and around the Okavango. The delta region is home to over 400 different bird species, one of the most in the world, and the presence of elephants, wild cats, and numerous other flora and fauna is a common sight.

French architect Patrick Bouchain says “I don’t do any new buildings, I only transform the existing fabric”. Likewise, in SMA, we opted to transform the 3 small existing buildings. Surely, convincing the principals was a tad bit challenging but eventually, they got on board as this approach is environmentally better.
We transformed one foundation and two small existing buildings into semi-open reception, open foyer, admin/ fin. office, topped by a lovely cafeteria with a view.
The principals of KORA retreat wanted to do something related to halotherapy – a salt room. Why not design it more prominently? So, Jeenus, Janek and Anne came up with the idea, got to work and found out more on halotherapy: it became a Salt Cave! Located just beside swimming pool and bar area, it completes the whole process of bodily movements, relaxation, healing and wellness.
More updates soon!
