Large permeable facades allow year-wide cross ventilation, whilst the careful placement of glass facades allow the house to soak up natural light. On the exterior, the home is defined by the subtle use of local materials juxtaposed against its modernist form. A solid stone ground floor anchors a lime washed second floor. Natural borders, wood paneling and pivoting glass doors define the main facades, whilst the angled concrete planters cut the building mass and 'livens' it with humble landscaping. From the East - the house presents itself as an impenetrable fortress, however, once one transitions from the out to in - a double heighted living space greets its occupants.

A timber clad bulkhead sits on full length glass accordion doors - leading to the private and landscaped garden. Beyond it's physical attributes, the home is designed following the Indian philosophy of spatial systems - Vastu Shastra. In doing so, the home is experienced as a holistic collection of carefully curated spaces that are defined by energy, flow and balance. Coupled with the mild and welcoming climate of Nairobi, the home accommodates seamless transitions between the indoor and outdoors - allowing its residents an abundance of biophilic escapes.
