A 2,400 m² design for a new township on the island of Zanzibar, Tanzania, where we are designing the apartments, the villas and the clubhouse at its heart: calm, natural spaces shaped by island light and materials. Designed by ELE, one of the best interior design companies in Dubai, for a client in Tanzania.
Amani Township is a new residential community in Zanzibar. Our role is to shape how it feels to live there: the apartments, the villas, and a clubhouse that brings residents together, with a reception and lobby, a restaurant, a mini-market, a gym, yoga and wellness rooms with sauna and steam.
The mood board draws on the island itself: sand-toned plaster, warm timber, travertine-look stone and woven textures, softened by greenery and filtered daylight. The palette is deliberately quiet, so the light and the landscape do the work.
In the visualisations, the clubhouse opens through a glass revolving door into a tall, timber-ribbed reception with living green walls and woven pendants. Wellness rooms are wrapped in timber lattice and soft stone, and the apartments pair herringbone oak with backlit shelving and gently curved furniture. The aim is a community that feels relaxed, natural and unmistakably of its place.
