Designing for Uasin Gishu

  • Parts of the Rift Valley are seismically active and have volcanic or fissure-prone soils, so the structural engineer designs foundations and frames to suit.
  • In the cold highlands (Eldoret, Kericho, Nyahururu, Molo) plan for fireplaces, insulation and sunny living rooms. On the warmer valley floor, plan for shade and airflow.
  • Nakuru is now a city and Eldoret is growing fast. Rental apartments, maisonettes and mixed-use buildings are in strong demand.

Popular materials here: local stone, burnt brick, concrete block, and both flat and pitched roofs.
