Nestled in the picturesque coastal region of Kenya, this 3-bedroom villa seamlessly fuses traditional coastal charm with modern architectural innovation, featuring unique oblique geometric forms that set it apart.

​

At the heart of the design lies a central japanese styled-courtyard forming the focal point of the design linking the main house to tertiary spaces such as the pool and gym area.

​

Designed with the coastal climate in mind, the villa incorporates single-banked spaces, deep-set louvered openings, and intricate mashrabiya screens to promote natural cross-ventilation. Solar protection is achieved through the use of light-coloured high thermal mass coral stone walls, a material well-suited to the region's conditions.

​

Covered terraces are thoughtfully positioned to frame breathtaking views of the sea, offering a harmonious blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal.
