Spitzkoppe Lodge Is Situated On The Northern Periphery Of The Spitzkoppe Inselberg, Between Huge Granite

Spitzkoppe Lodge is situated on the northern periphery of the Spitzkoppe inselberg, between huge granite boulders, which were created more than 150 million years ago. Limited use of concrete with elevated floors and decks and composite materials for walls, which can be dismantled easily, will enable nature to restore itself in just a few months after deconstruction. The tented roof shapes simulate the surrounding rock formations and soften the square building plan form. Situated on the inland edge of the Namib Desert, the climate of the Spitzkoppe Conservation Area is arid, with a mean annual rainfall of 50mm and a high evaporation rate of 3200mm per annum. Most rainfall occurs between January and April, and with the granite outcrops being impermeable, rainfall runoff collects at the foot of the outcrops creating unique micro-habitats.

Die Spitzkoppe Lodge befindet sich am nördlichen Rand des Spitzkoppe Inselbergs zwischen riesigen Granitblöcken, die vor mehr als 150 Millionen Jahren gebildet wurden. Die begrenzte Verwendung von Beton mit erhöhten Böden und Decks sowie Verbundwerkstoffen für Wände, die leicht abgebaut werden können, ermöglicht es der Natur, sich innerhalb weniger Monate nach dem Rückbau wieder zu erholen. Die Zeltdachformen simulieren die umgebenden Felsformationen und machen die quadratische Bauplanform weicher. Das Klima des Spitzkoppe-Schutzgebiets am Binnenrand der Namib-Wüste ist trocken, mit einem durchschnittlichen jährlichen Niederschlag von 50 mm und einer hohen Verdunstungsrate von 3200 mm pro Jahr. Die meisten Niederschläge fallen zwischen Januar und April, und da die Granitaufschlüsse undurchlässig sind, sammelt sich der Niederschlag am Fuße der Aufschlüsse, wodurch einzigartige Mikro-Lebensräume entstehen.

The Naankuse Foundation volunteered to grant Apollo, Namibia's most well-travelled elephant, a second chance. Exposed to an area where conflict with humans was inevitable, an elephant found a safe haven and has become a giant ambassador for his wild counterparts. 

----------------------

Die Naankuse Foundation meldete sich freiwillig, um Apollo, Namibias am weitesten gereistem Elefanten, eine zweite Chance zu gewähren. Dieser Elefant, der einem Gebiet umherstreifte, in dem Konflikte mit Menschen unvermeidlich waren, fand einen sicheren Hafen und wurde zu einem mächtigen Botschafter für seine wilden Kollegen.
