Designed by the owner Conrad Scheffer from Conrad Scheffer Architects in Walvis bay, Namibia. The company started in 2021 by buying a residential house and a big creative design dream! de Baken boast in a lot of hand crafted components, recycled and up cycled building components/materials that formed one of the major project pillars while striving to establish sustainable architecture. This approach, to work with what you have or what you can locally source (however odd), somehow created its own character and special feeling. We offer single units or two-bedroom units each with its personal BBQ (braai) and secure parking.
