Type:
Research / industrial
Location:
Athi River, Kenya
Key Constraints:
Harsh climate with high heat and fine dust
Strict technical program (controlled labs, storage, workflows)
Modest budget requiring material efficiency
Need for durable, low-maintenance surfaces
Why it’s interesting:
It’s architecture without theatrics. The building’s rational layout mirrors the research workflows, while the material palette reflects the region’s industrial context. It’s a study in pragmatism elevated through proportion, light, and system clarity.
