Hotel Nasa Hablod was conceived in response to a unique set of design challenges.⁠
⁠
Located in Mogadishu, the project was envisioned as a self-sustaining five-star hotel and conference facility, with security and operational resilience informing every stage of the design process.⁠
⁠
These latest visualisations offer a closer look at the architectural language of the project, revealing a contemporary hospitality destination designed to respond thoughtfully to both place and purpose.⁠

Kashimbila Island Hotel is a luxury resort destination taking shape on an island within Kashimbila Dam, Taraba State – a project conceived as a dialogue between water, mountain and architecture. Construction began in 2024, with the 4,462m² hotel forming the anchor of a wider island masterplan that includes private villas, a spa, a sunset bar and a conference centre.⁠
⁠
Every component is distributed along the island's perimeter to stay close to the water's edge, in service of a slow-living guest experience built around tranquillity and connection to nature. A dramatic pitched roof marks the arrival experience, echoing the undulating hills beyond, while a double-volume foyer frames uninterrupted lake views through to a rooftop bar and infinity pool.⁠
⁠
The material palette – concrete superstructure, natural stone and timber cladding, earth-toned textured plaster – grounds the architecture firmly in its landscape, while positioning the building at the dam's high water mark demanded close collaboration with local structural engineers to manage wind exposure and the natural rise and fall of water levels.⁠
⁠
Perhaps most significant is what this project represents: high-end architectural design brought to a typically rural region of Nigeria. Currently under construction, Kashimbila Island Hotel is set to become a defining feature of the landscape, and a catalyst for growth in the region – proof that restraint, not scale, creates the most memorable places.⁠

Architecture begins with understanding a place.⁠
⁠
This proposal began as an exploration into the redevelopment potential of a longstanding beachfront hotel in Mouille Point on Cape Town's Atlantic Seaboard. The brief was to test the optimum development envelope and reimagine the site as a contemporary luxury residential building that responds to its exceptional coastal setting on Cape Town's Atlantic Seaboard.⁠
⁠
Every design decision followed from the site's greatest asset – uninterrupted views of both the Atlantic Ocean and Table Mountain. Parking was accommodated below ground, allowing the building above to prioritise light, outlook and generous outdoor living. Two apartments occupy each floor, with a central circulation core and terraces carefully oriented towards either the sea or the mountain.⁠
⁠
Defined by sculpted white forms, glass balustrades and a restrained material palette, the architecture steps back to allow the surrounding landscape to take centre stage.⁠

OUT OF AFRICA – And Always Into Africa⁠
⁠
At Peerutin Karol Architects, we are ever fortunate to have wonderful opportunities all over Africa, and to become involved in project opportunities that would be few and far between in our home country of South Africa.⁠
⁠
Like, how often does one get asked to design a large sports academy?⁠
⁠
Well, we were commissioned to design one in Abuja, Nigeria, by a client who has a huge focus on giving back to his community.⁠
⁠
The campus comprises a School Precinct, a Sports Precinct and a Stadium Precinct, creating progressive opportunities for nurturing skills and talent.⁠
⁠
Included in the facilities are an education centre with support housing for staff and students, tennis courts, football fields, basketball and netball courts, and a 25 m swimming pool. The football stadium seats 2,500 people.⁠
⁠
The concept behind the masterplan was essentially a campus held together by a circulation spine running through it. The spine comprises a covered walkway snaking through the campus, broadening out to create incidental gathering spaces, places to stop and rest in the shade, open spaces for an impromptu soccer game, and pause areas to sit and talk with friends.⁠
⁠
The buildings' language focuses on low-scale, single-storey buildings with echoes of vernacular architecture, ensuring that the place itself feels personable and connected to the child growing into a student who is never overwhelmed or intimidated. Walls are finished in textured plaster in warm terracotta tones, while paths are paved in earthy materials and covered by open slatted timber walkways. The landscape weaves itself into the architecture, creating a connection between the buildings and the natural landscape surrounding it.⁠

The relationship between a home and its landscape begins long before you step outside.⁠
⁠
Architecture has the ability to frame and reveal nature, shaping not only what we see, but how we inhabit a place.⁠
⁠
A terrace extends into the garden beyond. A carefully positioned opening turns a garden scene into a living composition.⁠
⁠
The home becomes a window to the world around it.⁠
⁠
In this Bishopscourt home, the landscape is never incidental. Every room maintains a dialogue with the garden, whether through generous openings onto the garden, or a single square pane that creates a sense of intimacy with the outdoors.⁠
⁠
Perhaps this becomes most apparent in winter. As life retreats indoors, our connection to context depends less on proximity than on perspective. The garden continues to shape the experience of the home, not as something beyond the glass, but as part of the architecture itself.⁠

Architecture is a discipline of balance – between precision and adaptability, vision and reality, creativity and constraint.⁠
⁠
As Technical Design Director at Peerutin Karol, Henning Van As works at the intersection of design intent and technical delivery. Drawing on years of practice across different contexts, he shares one lesson that continues to shape the way he approaches architecture today.⁠
⁠
"In Europe, specifically Germany, I learned to be very meticulous and correct. I learned to speak German early on and was able to immerse myself in the culture. The environment is very traditional, and things take time. Being able to strike a balance and allowing yourself to be detail oriented and meticulous, but also fast on your feet and adaptable, has helped me immensely in my work. I trust this experience will continue to further grow the firm, keeping it a competitor in the international arena and especially in Africa."⁠

When we were approached to design a control tower for a regional private airstrip in south-eastern Nigeria, the brief was straightforward: create a landmark.⁠
⁠
The challenge was ensuring that the building worked as a piece of infrastructure first and an architectural statement second.⁠
⁠
An early concept explored a curvaceous form pinched at the waist. As the design developed, this was rationalised into a faceted, angular structure that was simpler to construct and better suited to its purpose. Within the tower, a winding staircase rises to an observation deck 16 metres above ground level.⁠
⁠
In a landscape defined by its flatness, the tower takes on an outsized presence. Standing alone on the horizon, it becomes both a point of orientation and a marker of arrival, delivering the landmark quality the client was seeking through clarity of form rather than architectural excess.⁠

Adjacent to the 66,000-seater Cape Town Stadium, Louis Karol and Point Architects designed a smaller stadium.⁠
⁠
The Green Point Athletic Stadium was designed to accommodate local sporting events in an appropriate setting, with a 4,500 spectator capacity.⁠
⁠
Pictured here is the Athletics Track first running test⁠ on its 400m round track. The Stadium is still used today to host athletics and sporting events in Cape Town, along with concerts and other functions.⁠
