Crafford & Crafford :: Architecture without boundaries

Architecture without boundaries

We have been designing Lodges & Resorts in some of our Continent's most breathtaking conservation areas and take great care to adjust our designs to the local conditions through the use of appropriate technology for the climatic conditions and skill available.

Over the past 15 years, we have designed more than 50 lodges and 23 resorts, 26 wilderness camps, completed more than 40 master plans for tourism & conservation projects, participated in 3 Spatial Development initiatives (to identify and illustrate tourism opportunities in Southern Africa) and acted as marketing agents for several ecotourism products.
