GoalsDesign a building that mimics the traditional Dutch architecture of Cape Town but also stands out as a high end boutique hotel
Create an interior space that shocks and awes all guests who enter with grand fixtures and finishes and creating intimate meeting spaces
For both overnight guests and local visitors, create a Restaurant space that showcases a blend of both traditional Dutch and Zulu cuisine
For entertainment, create a space that is trendy with a sophisticated lounge and bar space with views to the harbor
Design romantic king suites with nods towards The Big Five (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, rhino) so each room has a different feel, encouraging guest to return and experience more of what Kukutana has to offer
Use as many regional sources for an honest and true design to the area and promote sustainability

The Meeting Place
South Africa is a country that sits at the meeting place of elements found in both nature and culture. Geographically, it is where the Indian and Atlantic ocean meet and where mountains meet the ocean. Culturally, South Africa is viewed as a place of opportunity for many other nations in Africa. While this hotel will cater to international travelers, the design will also welcome locals with it’s traditional Dutch architecture and fusion of tribal art with a modern twist. Kukutana or “meeting” in Swahili will be the destination for all those wanting to experience South Africa.

Green Roof
In an effort for the hotel to practice more sustainability, the roof of the porte cochere will be designed to hold a green rood that will provide a permeable surface for rain to be filtered down into the ground below. Besides it’s practical sustainable use, the green roof will also help to mask the roof of the porte cochere and provide beautiful scenery out the window of Zulu Bar and Lounge.

Restaurant 30 | 25
Food is a central part of culture and a place where people intentionally come together to socialize and share a meal together. The Five Star Restaurant on Kukutan’s second floor is called 30|25 because it represents the latitude and longitude of Cape Town, South Africa. 30 degrees south and 25 degrees east. In keeping with the concept of “The Meeting Place”, restaurant 30|25 will greet guest with high end finishes, dramatic lighting, and built in booth seating that provide guest with a private and intimate dining experience.
