Designing a Malawian Oasis
The Protea Hotel Lilongwe Ryalls redefines urban hospitality, and the architecture draws inspiration from the surrounding landscape. Pavilion-style buildings, generous verandas and expansive glazing blur the boundaries between inside and out. Muted tones and natural finishes provide a timeless backdrop for the rich textures that celebrate Malawian artistry, from locally sourced timber to hand-woven finishes, while the landscaping weaves intimate “green rooms” that echo the textures of Malawi’s natural scenery.
