Sirai Retreat – Laikipia, Kenya

 

The blend of timber, terrazzo, corten steel and cedar shingles resulted in an elegant building that packs a punch way above its weight.

The owners of Sirai House tasked Nicholas Plewman Architects and Fox Browne Creative to design a small intimate spa retreat adjacent to the existing pool house.

The building, oriented towards Mount Kenya, shows the snow-capped peak as the hero of the view. The building finishes celebrate the natural forest with a rich and varied use of timber.
