Eco Resort
Kisumu
Proposal
The proposed development is aimed at being the foremost conference facility in Kisumu and the adjoining counties. It is specifically a bird watching eco resort with a conference facility for 800 people, lounge, eateries, a business centre, spa, and gym. The rooms are divided into three tiers which is evident from the facade design which is inspired by a weaver bird’s nest. The turns at the facade indicate a change in use from standard room to executive and finally luxury suites. There is a bird museum covering the ornithology of the region and country at large, a bird viewing tower and jetties for water sports. On site BIPVs and biomass plants (utilising hyacinth) ensure that the carbon footprint of this already passive building is further reduced
