IDENTITY & BRAND

Kaya Villas

Kaya Villas [Kenya] is a contemporary coastal retreat in Watamu, shaped by Swahili craft, slow living, and the rhythms of the Kenyan coast. The project centres on creating an experience that feels rooted, discreet, and effortlessly refined a place designed for privacy, calm, and a sense of belonging.

The brand explores how architecture, landscape, and hospitality can work as one narrative: understated forms, natural materials, and a pace that mirrors coastal life. The work focuses on distilling this atmosphere into a visual identity that feels warm, authentic, and quietly elevated a considered expression of modern Kenyan hospitality.
