THE COURTYARD HOME 2, KITISURU, NAIROBI

Project Description

This 3-bedroom family home prioritizes both connection and privacy. It features an ensuite master bedroom, two bedrooms sharing a bathroom, and an open kitchen that flows into a dining and sitting area. A cleverly designed family room doubles as a study, offering a dedicated space for work or relaxation. Sustainability is woven into the design. The house is positioned to preserve existing trees, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. Expansive windows bathe the space in natural light and blur the lines between the interior and landscaped gardens.

A private courtyard, accessible through glass doors, offers a safe haven for children and a sheltered oasis for adults. Large, north-south facing windows maximize natural light and ventilation, while minimizing harsh sun exposure. Aromatic gardens beside the kitchen and bathroom enhance the sensory experience and connect the interior with nature. Clay roof tiles and plastered walls with blue stone accents create a timeless elegance that complements the surroundings. Hardwood flooring grounds the living areas, while tiles ensure practicality in wet areas.
