projects involved
​
'As a trainee I’ve had the opportunity to work for AAmatters on the Lebanon Brothers building in Stone Town in Zanzibar, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This project was one of the potential first projects for Hifadhi Zanzibar.
​
I have learned how important it is to balance all the aspects of a project, from design to technique to acoustics to economics, and not just the architectural image, as we learn at school. Architecture, marketing, communication and costs need to work interdependently.'
