Project Location: Nairobi, Kenya
Student Designer: Mali Borisch
Nestled in the southwest reaches of Kenya, an idea began to form. The Yolk took its substance from Kenya’s rich Tribal Architecture and sustainable practices used by its Indigenous People.
The form maximizes airflow and daylight while considering water collection and privacy. With a combined indoor/outdoor area of 9260 sq ft, seating 250+ people, it serves as not only a space to nurture through food but through community gathering.
"The jury is pleased to present this project with an award in recognition of its compelling narrative and thoughtful design process, which were consistently communicated throughout the presentation."
