Type:
Private home
Location:
Karen, Nairoobi
Key Constraints:
Dense tree cover limiting direct light
Sloping site requiring controlled intervention
Client desire for privacy without feeling enclosed
Use of regionally available materials
Why it’s interesting:
The project balances heaviness and lightness — grounding the home in stone while allowing clerestory glazing and voids to lift the interior. The tension between mass and openness gives it architectural weight.
