Architect Profile
AMA-Kenya
n Nairobi, Kenya. Founded in 2010, the firm undertakes full-scope services
at design, great service, the firm provides innovative designs matched with
AMA-Kenya’s favourite projects
“It’s difficult to pick! All the projects we have completed or are working on at the moment are
fairly important,” says Aleem Manji. “Each of them has a story to tell, and each of them has a
unique identity.”
Casilda: I would include this
purely on the basis that it was
the first project undertaken by
AMA-Kenya. The development
consists of four townhouses in
the Kyuna suburb of Nairobi. The
design language is modern with
clean lines and huge swathes of
glazing, with a beautiful double
volume lounge and dining for all
the houses. The project also gave
us a chance to start exploring
mixing materials externally:
Timber cladding with natural
stone cladding and textured
plaster, something that we’ve
refined over our later projects.
Cascades: Located at the edge
of the Westlands CBD, Cascades
was the first Residential
Apartment design undertaken
by AMA-Kenya. The facade
design of this development is
one of our favourites. Featuring
cascading ribbons wrapped
around each balcony, each level
slightly offset from the level
below it, to create a cascading
wave-like effect.
