At Kinasi Lodge, we believe that sustainability should be at the core of both design and daily operations. One of our key features is the use of flat, cultivated “green roofs”, which blend aesthetics with environmental responsibility.
A green roof is a flat or gently sloped rooftop covered with vegetation. These roofs offer numerous benefits: they help regulate building temperatures, reduce energy consumption, and improve air quality. By absorbing rainwater, green roofs also reduce runoff and contribute to a healthier local ecosystem.
From a design perspective, these roofs create a harmonious integration with nature, adding greenery to what would otherwise be unused space. This enhances the natural beauty of the lodge while reducing the building’s carbon footprint. Guests not only enjoy eco-friendly accommodations but also feel a closer connection to the environment.
In operations, maintaining a green roof is a sustainable practice that reduces maintenance costs over time. The insulation provided by the plants lowers the need for artificial heating or cooling, leading to energy savings year-round. Moreover, green roofs extend the life of the roofing material by protecting it from the elements.
At Kinasi Lodge, we’re proud to embrace this sustainable approach in our design, creating a luxurious yet eco-conscious experience for our guests.
