Residential architecture, Kajiado County
Villa Rongai is a 389 square metre family home on a quarter-acre plot in Kajiado County, designed by Aalis Studios for a private client. It is a two-storey house with four bedrooms, a self-contained guest studio, a garage and generous balconies and patios, all under a dark hipped roof. The design is approved and the house is now under construction.
Project facts
The brief
The client wanted a family home that feels open and bright, separates the quiet bedroom floor from the busy living areas, and gives guests and relatives their own space.
The design pairs a strong charcoal and white palette with warm timber and natural stone. A hipped roof pitched at 33 degrees covers the house, with deep overhangs that shade the walls and balconies. Large glazed corners and a double-height window bring daylight into the living spaces, and glass balustrades keep the balconies light and open.
Gallery
These are artist's impressions. The house is approved and under construction. Two views show different finish options.
How the home is organised
A covered entrance and foyer lead to the living room, dining area and open kitchen with a breakfast counter. A separate closed kitchen and laundry keep cooking and service work out of sight. A junior master bedroom with its own en suite sits on this floor, which suits older relatives or guests who prefer to avoid stairs. A cloakroom and guest bathroom are near the entrance. A patio opens off the living room for outdoor dining and relaxing.
A self-contained studio with a bed space, lounge area, kitchenette and bathroom sits at the back of the plot, with its own access. It can serve as a guest suite, a home office or a rental space.
The master bedroom has a walk-in closet, a dressing area, a his-and-hers bathroom and its own balcony. Two more bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom, share the floor with a family room that has a large balcony. A central passage and staircase connect everything.
A garage and parking area sit beside the entrance, with a ramp to the front door and a walkway along the side of the house.
Materials and finishes
The visualisations show two finish options. Option A uses a white column and a timber panel. Option B uses a stone-clad column and a timber soffit.
Our role
Aalis Studios provided the architecture and interior design, and coordinated the structural and MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) design so that every discipline works from one set of drawings. The drawings include detailed notes on foundations, termite treatment, drainage and ventilation. The design has been approved and building is under way. Registered professionals in our own team prepare, print and sign off the architectural and structural drawings.
