- Abstract
- The project is to design a small scale lodge on Nsadzi Island in Lake Victoria. It should have the capacity to accommodate about 20 guests overnight, but the possibility for larger events if needed. Since it is crucial to the economical sustainability of the hotel to be able to accommodate a maximum of guests as early as possible, the development should be considered as a planned evolution from initially a mere camping site providing basic infrastructure like showers and sanitary functions, to a fully developed resort. Buildings providing sleeping quarters, social spaces and other facilities will be added in a pace determined by the availability of financial resources. The buildings themselves should also have the possibility to relatively... (More)

Buildings providing sleeping quarters, social spaces and other facilities will be added in a pace determined by the availability of financial resources. The buildings themselves should also have the possibility to relatively easily be upgraded to a higher standard if it is necessary in order to attract guests. While meeting the specific technical requirements associated with building in the tropics, the hope is that the architectural solution will be unlike that of similar developments in Uganda. The vision is to create a locally run resort within the financial reach of middle class families, a place that will become a pioneering showcase of the value of the lake and help improve the local economy.
