zululami estate

private residential estate

‍Zululami Coastal Estate presents a counter-narrative: that residential development, when led by landscape intelligence, can function not as ecological debt but as ecological repair.

Conceived and realised across a 140-hectare former sugarcane farm, Zululami represents a fundamental rethinking of what a contemporary settlement can be, and what obligations it carries toward the land it occupies.
