UA House / Studio Mehta Architecture

Nestled along the serene Takaungu Creek, UA House epitomizes the seamless blend of historical influence and contemporary architectural practices. This 150 square meter limestone villa stands as a testament to sustainable living and thoughtful design, drawing inspiration from the rich Omani heritage that has shaped Coastal Kenya. UA House is thoughtfully organized around a series of landscaped courtyards, creating a harmonious flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. These courtyards not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also serve functional purposes, such as facilitating natural ventilation and providing serene retreats from the tropical sun.
