Gaba Gaba House
From the outside Gaba Gaba House takes the shape of a white cube giving nothing away of the beauty that lies within. Once you enter through the Lamu curved door you step into a Swahili Lamu style house designed and built on the lines of sacred geometric principles, a hallmark of original Arabic design.
One of the meaning of Gaba Gaba is 'doubly relaxed' and inside you will find a house that we hope will allow you to do just that. As you arrive up a grand staircase, which brings you into the white courtyard with a turquoise Moroccan tiled pool, and central palm tree a large sitting area complete with a recessed wooden Moorish Musharabia and two sofas greet you on arrival.
You'll notice the waft of jasmine and frangipani and an unusual coffee table, home to a new board game known as the Glass Bead Game, but that is another story. In the evening the courtyard is truly magical and great for relaxing, entertaining or watching a film with a house projector.
