Vipingo Club House, Kilifi, Kenya

The Clubhouse is the central meeting point at Vipingo Ridge located on the coast on two 18-hole golf courses.

This building is a good example of what we call contemporary Swahili architecture: high ceilings, traditional décor and 21st century conveniences. The Club House is the heart of a residential development on the coast situated on two 18-hole golf courses. As such, we designed it to be:

1) Located in the centre of it all and at the highest point of the plot.

2) A strong presence.

3) Pleasing to the eye.

4) An atmospheric getaway.

5) An interesting view from every angle, hence its regular shape.

We introduced environmental features such as solar panels, while still creating a space – complete with changing rooms, a pro shop, office bar and a kitchen – that looks and feels luxurious.
