Designing for Samburu
- Keep the heat out: thick walls, small shaded windows on the east and west, deep verandas, courtyards and light-coloured roofs.
- Water is precious, so every design includes rainwater harvesting and storage, and we can plan for a borehole and solar pumping.
- Solar power is very productive here. We orient the roof to carry panels and water heaters.
Popular materials here: stone, stabilised soil blocks, concrete block, and reflective roofs.
