Andrea Kleinloog, co-founder of HK Studios, narrates the captivating journey of the Molori Safari Lodge Project, undertaken during a period of deep uncertainty. The circular architecture initially posed challenges, inspiring a refresh to seamlessly integrate with the existing structure. Guided by the spirit of adventure instilled by the owners, HK Studios embarked on the creation of an extraordinary space that defies conventional lodge genres.
The floor rug project, a parallel venture spurred by circular buildings and an impressive art collection, involved collaboration with artists like Maya Marx and Jodi Paulsen, translating unseen artworks into unique floor coverings. Despite the collaborative nature, the process was not without risks, from artistic interpretation to factory execution.
Andrea reflects on the challenge of replicating the unabashed joy experienced in Molori Lodge, leaving an indelible mark on visitors from service to location. In summary, the Molori Safari Lodge Project by HK Studios is a pattern-flawed, yet exceptional, experience that defies the ordinary, inviting guests to revel in its unique and curious wonders.
