Venus Villas is a luxurious residential project of 6 standalone houses located in Lavington, Nairobi.
Project Name: Venus Villas
Studio Name: Urko Sanchez Architects
Year: 2016
Client: Private, Kenya
Area: 3.750m2
Team: Urko Sánchez, Verónica Paradinas Duro, Blanca Sánchez-Balgoma
Renders: Z-Depth
Status: Design Stage
The development is carefully designed to adapt the buildings to the existing slope and vegetation of the plot. The façades are designed to avoid crossed views between facing houses and to ensure privacy.
Each villa has its own private garden and parking, which has been conceived as one more room of the house with modern finishes and natural light from a central green courtyard. This courtyard goes through the 3 floors of the house and down to the basement to introduce natural light and ventilation into the bathrooms.
Sustainable strategies such as cross ventilation, solar-power for water heating, water recycling, tree planting, etc. are part of the project helping to reduce the impact and carbon footprint of the construction.
