Mwalimu Aziz Residence

The project depicts a modern, minimalist house with sustainable architectural elements, integrating natural materials and environmentally friendly design strategies. The building features a low, flat roof which aids in reducing heat gain, contributing to passive cooling. The use of natural stone on the exterior walls not only provides thermal insulation but also reduces reliance on artificial cooling systems.

Large, strategically placed windows maximize natural light, decreasing the need for artificial lighting during the day. These windows also support natural ventilation, promoting airflow throughout the interior spaces. The structure includes a green landscape with an abundance of native plants, which likely reduces water consumption and provides natural shading around the house. The shrubbery and trees play a crucial role in temperature regulation by absorbing sunlight, creating a cool microclimate around the building.

A permeable walkway hints at effective rainwater management, allowing water to percolate into the soil, reducing stormwater runoff and contributing to groundwater recharge. The light color palette on the walls reflects sunlight, further minimizing heat absorption. Altogether, the design harmonizes with its surroundings, implementing eco-friendly materials and passive solar techniques for energy efficiency and sustainability.
