Masterplan Mt. Elgon

About this project

Mount Elgon Trust & Elimu Mount Elgon asked MWMarchitecture to travel to Mount Elgon in the fall of 2011, with the purpose of measuring the grounds and creating a sketch. The plan was to build approximately 15 projects in the next 5 years, on this relatively small area. To be able to prevent problems arising at an early stage, a masterplan was designed including the infrastructure for future projects.

Since the development of this plan, a lot has changed, but the basis has remained the same. To see the original plan, click below.
