made out of one of the most durable and resistant tropical redwoods, Niové. Situated in the Congo’s National Park of Conkouati Douli, a Unesco-recognised coastal ecosystem, the lodge was delivered in 2017 with the aim of proposing a 'totally ecological and decarbonised experience to the visitors'.
'The idea was to create added value by showing up best sustainable practices in materiality, production, and thermic, like natural ventilation, solar power lighting, and work with local craftsmanship,' Mavoungou Rodriguez explains. Wood was hand cut and dried on-site, as well as treated with linseed oil. All furniture was also made on-site.
