The form of the complex is a fusion of Swahili architecture with modernistic architectural elements In an effort to
respond to the Hot and humid Malindi climate deep set window and sunshaded windows have been utilised
Mashrabiya has been used to sunshade all glazed areas of the complex,
Pergola's with tentrils for covered walkway and seats with tree shades to keep off the scorching sun,the complex has
several water ponds and water fountain that help cool through evaporation

lifted up by 450mm to tap the North east moon wind and the ever present ocean breeze
on the Ground floor the primary spaces are the Dining space and the kitchen,the diining spaces has been suitably
placed to face the ocean and an adjacent islamic garden next to the dining space is an outdoor diner with jetting
