Attic Gardens

Attic Gardens is a high-end estate development designed to offer a serene, prestigious and upscale living environment. It combines the allure of luxurious design, breathtaking views, and thoughtful integration with the natural landscape, offering residents a sophisticated and comfortable place to call home. The result is a visually appealing and functional architectural design.

This development includes both pitched roof and flat roof options, providing a range of choices for discerning residents.

Attic Gardens was done under Carbnstudio and the author’s specific contribution included design, drafting and 3D modelling.

Some houses feature pitched roofs, which exude a classic and elegant charm, while others showcase modern designs with flat roofs, reflecting contemporary aesthetics. These options provide residents with the opportunity to choose a home that aligns with their personal style.

The development is carefully planned to maximize the natural beauty of the sloping land. The houses are strategically positioned to take advantage of the views and create a sense of privacy. Landscaping features such as terraced gardens, retaining walls, and carefully selected vegetation enhance the aesthetic appeal of the development.

SIMBA

Set deep in the Luo countryside of Migori County is this simple 1-bedroom house. “Simba“ in the local dialect means a house built by a son on his father’s homestead while he is a young man. The house is designed to blend harmoniously with the sloping landscape and is built with locally sourced materials. It also incorporates other sustainable design practices like use of green energy and also rainwater harvesting. The house provides a cozy and functional space that considers practical needs and respects the natural environment and cultural heritage of the Luo people.

Compact Ftz Warehouses

Compact FTZ Warehouses is a logistics hub that centrally serves the shipping logistics chain and facilitates various sectors of the economy directly and indirectly. The idea is to build warehouses that will be connected to showrooms and the structures will consist of shipping containers with roofs made of lightweight steel frames. This will create a good environment for different products that are made locally to be stored and prepared for export. It will also be a centralized location where customs can supervise everything before the products are sent to both local and international markets.

This is a collection of additional works portraying skills including but not limited to sketching, photography and digital and physical modeling. They complement and enhance the overall creativity and design process.

Sketching aids in discovering the best approaches and solutions to a design problem. It explores design concepts and communicates ideas, whether it is solving initial design problems or working through details.

Like architecture, photography is more then just taking a picture. It aims to capture the interaction between light and the physical form to convey a message. It should strive to capture the mood and feeling of the moment to accurately portray what is in front of the lens. Photography helps this author in visualizing a completely varied vision over people and place.
