HERITAGE
MATERIALS
Our purpose is to understand how we can draw on the past and develop ways to address the urgent social and environmental challenges facing Stone Town today.
The vast majority of Stone Town's buildings are constructed from coral rag stone, a local limestone composed of ancient local coral reef material and mortar. The ceilings are constructed from thin mangrove beams layered with coral rag. Stone Town is an urban and architectural product of its natural environment.​​​​
