Hogarth Architects have designed a holiday home in Kilifi, Kenya, that consists of huts on stilts and towers, connected by rope bridges.

Design
The remoteness of the site means that the lodges need to be as self sufficient as possible and easy to maintain. The design also aims to have as little environmental impact as possible. No glass or air conditioning has been used and the materials will be locally sourced coral block, lime render, timber from a sustainable source and palm thatch for the roofs. The towers will house the bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens and the huts will provide the main living spaces. The impact the buildings have at ground level is kept to a minimum so that access and views to and from the narrow beach front are kept as open as possible. The elevated living spaces will also benefit from increased natural ventilation.
