Context & Goal Develop **high-end short-let apartments** will be a mixture of amartments (single + 2-bedroom) for Airbnb / Booking.com across each: - 3 floors + a **rooftop** (sundeck, pool option, grill, bar, outdoor dining, shade sails) - Its own **common swimming pool** (ground or rooftop) - Maximum greenery, **live fences** between buildings - Ground-floor units get a **private green outdoor area** (hammock / grill / lounge) - Maximum privacy between units (entrances & windows) - Every bedroom **en-suite**; **open kitchen** into living/dining; minimal internal walls for spaciousness - **A/C** In each apartment and the cooling units hung on the balconies outside the bedrooms or living rooms - The master bedroom can have a jacuzzi like shown in the picture - Parking outside for 6 vehicles (sliding gate to preserve space) The roof of the parking can be the solar panels - **Solar panel** space; - Rooftop **shade sails** -Fitness Center on rooftop ## 2. Plot Dimension Interpretation — 2 buildings each sitting on a 30 x 60 m plot ## 3. Site & Climate Considerations (Diani) - **Climate:** Hot, humid, equatorial. ~26–33 °C year-round. Long rains Mar–May, short rains Oct–Dec. - **Winds:** *Kusi* (SE monsoon, Apr–Oct, cooler/stronger) and *Kaskazi* (NE monsoon, Nov–Mar, hot). **Orient living spaces & balconies to capture SE breezes** for passive cooling. - **Sun:** Near-overhead equatorial sun → shade E/W facades; rooftop shade sails and deep eaves essential. - **Existing trees:** Mature canopy on site — **preserve where possible** for instant greenery and shade. a few extra details, no elevator. feel free to mix the 2 and 1 bedroom units per floor for balance if required. material will be concrete and stone You can download the renders here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1m5GgNVKck_jP-TSNR1oSS7yM5WHVF72M?usp=sharing
