01 / About the project

the brief

We worked with shade, breeze and texture, layering lime plaster, coral stone, carved wood, linen and woven fibre through the rooms. The result feels at home in Lamu, with the ease and detail guests remember.

the outcome

A considered piece of work rooted in Kenyan context, material and everyday use.
