01. Preliminary Planning
Project Overview Our team was tasked to design and build a brand new summer home and Air Bnb for a family in Maasai Mara, Kenya. They wanted to have 2-3 bedrooms and a traditional African coastal design. The family loves snorkeling, nature, and wildlife, so our task was to design a space that connects the indoors with the out. Along with the indoor - outdoor feel of this luxury vacation camp we also wanted it to blend in with it’s African surroundings.
Maasai Mara National Reserve
Located in the far southwest of Kenya in the Great Rift Valley, the Masai Mara National Reserve is the East African country’s flagship park: a vast wilderness of abundant big game, spectacular landscapes and the scene of one of the planet’s most dramatic wildlife migrations. This plot of land is located directly one of the many Mara river tributaries making it the perfect spot for watching the animals and relaxing in the African sun.
Concept
Local Art
Endale Desalegn
For this project we wanted to use local art so we decided to go with African artist, Endale Desalegn. Endale’s work is distinguished by his strikingly expressive use of acrylic and oil paint and his characteristically monochrome palette with sparing use of colour. We found that his art style both represents the history around the area, but perfectly ties in with the concept of our design.
