Designing for Siaya

  • Kisii, Kakamega, Nyamira and Vihiga see a lot of lightning, so we include a lightning protection (earthing) layout for taller and larger buildings.
  • Heavy rain calls for generous roof overhangs, gutters sized for storms, and good site drainage, especially on hilly Kisii and Nyamira plots.
  • Around Lake Victoria (Kisumu, Homa Bay, Siaya) it's hot and humid, so shading, cross-ventilation and insect-screened windows matter.

Popular materials here: locally burnt clay bricks, concrete block, and pitched or flat concrete roofs.
