The Kenya House concept was borrowed from the Elmolo community. The Elmolo are the smallest ethnic group in Kenya living on the southeastern shore of Lake Turkana. The woven rim around the top of the house is used to increase the stability of the thatch in the super windy region the Elmolo occupy.
Kenya House encapsulates the best of Kenyan past and future. It celebrates a Nation that is grounded in its cultural heritage, but also, one that is forward thinking and very modern. Kenya House depicts Kenyan's warmth, resilience, innovation and ability to adapt quite fast in the face of adversity.
