Simon & Carla Residence
A Home Rooted in Story, Reimagined Through Nature’s Geometry
Set within mature Kenyan greenery, the Viezee residence is a quiet dialogue between architecture, colour, and the natural world. What began as a colonial‑style 1970s home has evolved into a living portrait of Simon and Carla’s shared values: warmth, clarity, and a deep respect for nature’s quiet intelligence.

A Palette Inspired by Place
Every surface invites touch.
Every colour carries a sense of belonging.
Across the home, bespoke textiles and wallpapers draw from nature’s geometry — shells, wings, tiles, fractals, clay, and Maasai motifs — transforming pattern into memory and colour into emotion.
Architecture That Breathes
The house is organised around a biophilic spine: a sequence of light‑filled volumes that draw the outdoors inward.
Soft transitions, natural ventilation, and framed views create a sense of calm movement, as though the home inhales and exhales with the landscape.
Large openings dissolve the boundary between interior and garden, allowing the family to live in constant dialogue with shifting light, weather, and season.
Botanical Luxury in the Gardens
The gardens are not ornamental; they are experiential.
Native planting, layered textures, and gentle movement create a sensory richness that supports wellbeing.
Shade, fragrance, and shifting colour turn the landscape into a companion — one that changes with the seasons and anchors the home in its Kenyan context
