Marejesho was a mobile research exhibition that travelled throughout the Kilimanjaro & Meru regions to raise awareness, promote dialogue & exchange information about the Tanzanian cultural heritage currently held in German museums. The exhibition was constructed from materials that could be re-purposed after decommissioning.

The brief involves renovating & remodelling an existing basement in Dar es Salaam, to propose one of the first Jazz Clubs in the city. The concept design carefully unpacks the space to retain some original features & introduce new elements for flexible usage & enhanced acoustics.

Located in the north of England at the junction of a busy motorway, the new mosque would serve as both a physical & symbolic landmark for a growing local Muslim community. One of the key themes explored was the materiality & how it would complement the overall composition of the scheme.

The brief developed into a 2-storey 3-bedroom 275 sqm family home whose terrace provides views towards a nearby mangrove forest & the Indian Ocean. The concept was developed as a modular fair-faced concrete frame & slabs with infill walls articulated by large openings, natural finishes such as locally sourced coral stone & hardwood.

The IST continued implementing its master-plan initially developed by FNI USA & Troppo Australia with this new Athletic Centre which included a purpose-built sports hall, yoga & ballet studio, gym & associated support spaces. APC were commissioned as the executive architects to provide detailed design & on-site supervision services.

The brief was to maximise free floor space by integrating all 3 elements; beds, storage & study desks into one unit in an otherwise single bedroom. The room was intended for sharing between a sister & brother & as such the colour palette chosen is neutral with soft elements such as bedsheets to give identity but retain flexibility for future uses.

As part of a wider masterplan for Al Muntazir School, we designed a compact new admin building that doubles as the school’s main gatehouse. Prefabricated and demountable, it minimizes disruption during construction & allows for future flexibility. A shaded under croft on the ground floor connects key public functions, while the upper floors host open-plan admin offices & a naturally ventilated boardroom terrace. Designed with affordability & adaptability in mind, the building sets a clear tone for the campus transformation through thoughtful planning & modular construction.

Directly inspired by the Bao games played on the coast of Tanzania, especially visible in Zanzibar, this Mancala coffee table pays homage to centuries of getting together, competing and spectating.

The form of the legs are inspired by Makonde sculptures that draw references from animal anatomy. The material used is Tanzanian teak to give it a strong character through contrasting grain and colour.
