House E / Studio 1:1 Design
A Harmonious Dwelling on the Dunes of Shela - Situated on a 50x25m plot in the historic Shela island, this residence harmoniously blends the timeless elegance of Swahili architecture with the functional clarity of Bauhaus design. The design direction was influenced by the client's appreciation for minimalist aesthetics and efficient use of space, incorporating clean lines, geometric forms, and an emphasis on functionality to seamlessly integrate modernist principles with the rich cultural heritage of the region. The design responds to the site's unique topography, cascading down the dunes towards the East, offering panoramic views of Manda Island and the Indian Ocean.
