Love & Respect for Nature
Nature provides the environment/backdrop and canvas on which we design.
The allure and charm of the Pearl Of Africa is nothing if not nature. The climatic conditions of Uganda beg to be taken advantage of.
At GGL nature is not only loved, it is respected..
All designs start with understanding the site’s environment and its micro climate. The built up structure is crafted to respect, take advantage of, and fit in its natural environment.
Natural lighting and cross ventilation are maximised while direct radiation from the sun is minimised, much like the Emergent Layer of the tropical rainforest.
Naturally, we strive to be as environmentally friendly as possible. We encourage use of locally sourced natural materials. Many of these materials are not only aesthetically pleasing, but are also environmentally friendly.
We endeavour to bring our occupants into a close and harmonious existence with nature
