Jeanne Schultz Design Studio

Very excited to share the work we’ve been creating for the Maasai community in Kenya. This project aims to create safe and sanitary living environments for women and their children, and to empower the residents by enabling them to build vernacular style homes with innovative techniques.

The buildings retain traditional form with extrusions for water control, latrines for all homes, community spaces, and spatial configuration which reflects the cultural way of movement through space.

We studied cultural patterns of behavior and longstanding traditions to ensure a culturally sensitive plan, and look forward to engaging the community further.

Great work by Lynette Masai and Salma Yahya.

Commissioned by Edna Lenku, First Lady Kajiado & Olkejuado Foundation
