Our approach integrates extensive community consultation with a design process that honors Luo heritage while addressing contemporary needs. By using locally sourced, breathable materials and traditional building techniques, the project ensures authenticity and sustainability. The strategy emphasizes a modular, repeating structure—inspired by local narratives—comprising four interconnected sections (three larger, one smaller) that offer flexible space for gatherings, exhibitions, and workshops. Collaboration with local cultural experts, artisans, and community members guides every decision, ensuring the center becomes a true reflection of collective aspirations. An update from our client further refines the concept: the use of repeated triangular (or conical) makuti roofs and “zig-zag” walls creates shaded alcoves and protects structural elements, enhancing both function and aesthetics.
