Through rewilding design, we created a seamless co Through rewilding design, we created a seamless connection between architecture and nature. With stunning views and natural integration into the landscape, Wild Hill is more than just a structure—it’s a place where the wild and the refined meet. @wild.hill @pollospurdon #pollospurdonarchitecture #rewilding #natureinspiredliving #sustainablearchitecture
It’s always an honour to work with incredible lo It’s always an honour to work with incredible local talent like renowned Kenton on Sea sculptor Bruce Little. His ability to bring the beauty of the bushveld to life in bronze and silver is nothing short of inspiring. As we developed the Wild Hill project, Bruce's stunning work was the perfect complement to the natural surroundings and contemporary design. @brucelittleoriginals @wild.hill @pollospurdon #pollospurdonarchitecture #wildhill #brucelittle #sculpture #bushveld #artmeetsarchitecture
As The Elders performed a traditional blessing for As The Elders performed a traditional blessing for Wild Hill, we were reminded of the deep history and cultural significance of the land we build on. This ceremony, filled with wisdom and reverence, was a powerful and meaningful way to honour the opening of this special project. @wild.hill @pollospurdon

Connecting Architecture to Ancient Africa at Wild Connecting Architecture to Ancient Africa at Wild Hill Our latest project at Wild Hill draws deeply from the rich heritage of Ancient Africa, creating a harmonious blend of contemporary design with the timeless beauty of the landscape. "During one of my initial site visits to this remote site, I felt the need to 'connect' the contemporary style architecture to this site! One way to achieve this was to combine this 'Ancient Africa' storyboard in contrast. It blends in beautifully, and we all got so inspired and started our sourcing wide and far!" Stay tuned as we continue to share more of this incredible journey! #pollospurdonarchitecture #wildhill #ancientafrica #architecturaldesign #inspiration

Huge appreciation post: Northscape Construction, h Huge appreciation post: Northscape Construction, headed up by Mark Glen has been a phenomenal contractor team to work with on the most difficult and remote site on a high hill with very bad road access in the Maasai Mara in Kenya! His, 'no problem’ attitude has been refreshing and his willingness to let his team do virtually the impossible at times has left me in awe and with huge appreciation. Massive steel beams were used throughout the superstructure to carry the ’sod roofs’. This construction method is difficult and we needed the best on board! Our clients added a Pickleball Court halfway through construction and again ’no problem’ and we hit huge rock formations underground but we have a Pickleball Court at Wild Hill now! I have pushed big boundaries and he made it happen. I designed a contemporary structure with ‘Ancient Africa’ in mind for the finishes and decor theme. With reference to our finishes, again Northscape came to the rescue - from creating our own ‘elephant plaster’ to ‘mud light fittings with cow dung and glue’ with his creative team on board to working out a ‘local mud, glue and oxide' recipe for the ceilings to creating a headboard wall with stone and plaster in the pattern and texture I proposed. Seeing and visiting ancient buildings in Europe our the years and appreciating the skills these old peoples must have had to create timeless structures, I never thought in my wildest dreams that one day I would be able to design on a site in Wild Africa and get the same skills! Well, the Northscape team has some of the best skilled people I have ever worked with! Driving up to site recently, Mark sent me a photo with the wording ‘ how is your day going’! His Land Cruiser rolled over on this wild road up to site. Antonia, his wife ended up sitting on top of the cruiser with Mark waiting for help. The spirit in which this contract has been executed has been a journey that I will remember for years to come. Thank you Northscape Team. You guys rock!
