Bourdon
This private residential villa was designed for a beautiful Nairobi family needing a monthly retreat where they could convene with their children and close friends. Special care, consideration and exploration of local materials as well as consideration of sustainable architecture led to key design decisions creating a distinct contemporary Afro minimalist villa.
The 5 acre plot boasts stunning views of both the Aberdares mountain range and Lake Naivasha which the house has been concentrated towards. The villa is designed to enhance the feel of being outdoors through its use of materials, open vistas and light, whilst also confidently anchoring itself in its surrounds through the use of strong planar vertical elements and an expansive cantilevered roof. Choice interior solutions of texture and layering helps aid a more softer and immersive warmth to the building.
A home away from home where the family can connect with each other as well as with nature.
