REFERENCE LETTER FOR ECO STRUCTURES
In 2017, GAPP Architects were appointed as the designers of a new tented camp in Zambia. After assessing
the work of a few tent specialists around the world, Eco Structures were appointed, based on their quick
turnaround of the designs, their experience working in remote locations, their willing cooperation and the fact
they had the capability to deliver the structure as well as the tent envelope. Throughout the project they
were quick to react and professional in advice and execution of the work.
The design process was relatively smooth. GAPP Architects prepared conceptual layouts and 3D views that
demonstrated the proposed design intent, which Eco Structures then interpreted and, with their specialist
expertise, translated into construction drawings. Through extensive discussion and a rigorous redlining process,
we were able to ensure the Eco Structures design complied with our design intent. Much of the time we
were guided by Eco Structures as to what was possible and what was not. Where specific details were
required to be incorporated by us, these were forwarded to Eco Structures for inclusion in the design.
A full-scale mock-up was built by Eco Structures for our review. It was an essential part of the process and
we were very grateful for Karl Plunkett’s willingness to produce this. Throughout the process GAPP worked
interactively with the competent Eco Structures team and despite the distance between us, the camp
was successfully delivered - and the Clients love it.
