Designed as a home for an Italian family that has been exploring Kenya for four generations, the home reflects a history on the East African coast, with a sensibility towards a comfortable and inviting space, decorated with African artifacts and furniture. Under the Mkuti roof, each pole from Zanzibar hand carved and crafted, which rises a total of fifteen metres high, the rooms are arranged at varying heights and angles to maximize the breeze. Directly in front of the house, where each room has an ocean view, lies a small path that leads directly to the beach.www.crocodileracers.com
