We pride ourselves on constant communication, brilliant design, stellar craftsmanship and attention to detail.

We believe that by creating highly functional and gorgeous outdoor spaces we provide our customers with the ability to connect with Mother Nature. The sensation of the wind, the sounds of nature, the scents in the air, the stars overhead, all remind us of the innate connection we have with the earth.

When working with particularly high net-worth individuals, Safari knows how to work discreetly and respectfully. Our construction sites are clean and organized and we are accustomed to working during odd hours in technically challenging sites.

Rich textures provide visual dynamism to often-ignored wall and ceiling surfaces. Craftsmanship and attention to detail are paramount.

Tropical décor doesn’t have to be “Rustic”. It can be, and often is, highly sophisitaced and refined.

With so many of us enjoying the health benefits of yoga, it’s no wonder that Safari is often asked to create private studios. Safari is perfectly positioned to provide exactly what’s needed to adavance one’s practice, whether it be a more traditional Balinese space, or perhaps something more transitional/modern.

Safari’s ability to field multiple skilled teams enables us to tackle large scale or complex projects.

We often find ourselves working with other specilized trades. Safari has always been able to work harmoniously with other teams, by maintaining a friendly raport, keeping to master schedules, working cleanly, and respecting the overall project’s needs.

We’ve always felt an obligation to protect the beautiful environments from which we draw our materials and inspiration. We are accustomed to projects where environmental constraints must be honored, such as avoiding habitat destruction through conscientious building methods, and careful selection of non-toxic materials.

We are constantly looking for ways to introduce indigenous and traditional building methodology and materials, and combine them with more contemporary design and modern building standards.

We love combining materials with different textures and finishes. Glass, stone, polished wood, raw timber, and, of course stunning lighting, bring these spaces to life.

Our synthetic thatch options provide more than 3-times the lifespan of our natural ones, with the benefit of fire retardant imbedded in the product. This added utility allows for projects that would never have been practical with exclusively natural materials.

Expert knowledge of the limitations of natural materials, allow us to guide the design of these structures to ensure the longest and most trouble-free life span possible.

Natural thatches in particular impart a sound-dampening quality that adds to the serenity that many of these zen spaces require.

One of the major advatanges Safari brings to the table for our zoo and themepark clients comes from our turnkey capability. The coordination of procurement, logistics, design, and installation is far easier when all of those components are under one roof.
