Designing for Kirinyaga

  • Plan for the cold: a fireplace, well-sealed windows and good roof insulation make a big difference in Nyeri, Nyandarua, Meru and Embu.
  • Sloping sites are common, so the design should step with the land. Retaining walls and drainage are planned at the site visit.
  • Heavy rainfall makes rainwater harvesting very worthwhile. Tanks can be designed into the roof or the compound.

Popular materials here: dressed stone, cypress timber, clay tiles and steep pitched roofs.
