Hut on the Okavango
Birds and Water

The Okavango Delta (Botswana) is a context that is ever-changing. The delta presents a spectacle on itself due to the constant movement of water (11 km³ / yr) through the inland delta. The yearly flooding of the delta dictates the movement of all life forms within and around the Okavango. The delta region is home to over 400 different bird species, one of the most in the world, and the presence of elephants, wild cats, and numerous other flora and fauna is a common sight. The hut acts like a nest resting on the delta, where the underside of the hut creates a secondary home for the different types of birds found in the delta region. Rather than trying to capture the overwhelming context by large apertures, the hut is designed in such a way that allows views to be flattened on the reed screen.
