THE CURATOR HOUSE

Encapsulated in the Lapalala Reserve, The Curator House is an eco-conscious design inspired by the biosphere diagram. As the new home of the Lapalala Wilderness School, it marks the central hub of where environmental education will take place. Each room within the building embodies a different natural layer: the lithosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. These rooms are created to immerse the student in their educational experience. Upon entering, students are greeted with a central terrarium which symbolizes the biosphere harmony of each natural layer. The rooftop garden overlooks Lapalala’s Reserve showcasing its vast landscapes. The Curator House blends its architecture and interior design with its surrounding nature, enhancing the student’s connection to the environment.
