Residential
Nyali Residence
Clean lines and angled geometry dictate the design for this 710m2 mansion in Nyali, Mombasa. The architecture integrates the principals of contemporary design with traditional responses to the local geography and climate. The design envisages the top floor as a floating white mass with an interplay of scooped hollows. In order to infuse movement and dynamism into the structure, linear planes were introduced in both the horizontal and vertical dimensions to create sharp angles along certain facades while also extending to form linear lines of the backyard landscaped flower bed.
