RADHADESH

“Radhadesh “- Nairobi, Kenya

At over 15,000 square feet, this house for an extended –family was the largest in East and Central Africa in 1998, and was HM Design’s “commission of the century”!  With no budget to work with, HM Design provided full services – from concept to implementation. The client’s brief was to create a boutique Kenyan Safari Lodge in the city so that they can stay in one all their lives. The main concept is that of continuity of the vernacular – a house that fits into its Kenyan setting and built with local materials  but employing modern interior spaces and design. This whole house revolves around a prayer room and includes interior pool and fountain, 15-seat self-surround theater, gym, sauna and massage rooms (9/95 to 12/98).
