My friend Lati is a kick ass architect. He’s got his own outfit with some partners known as Lexicon+Ion. One of the benefits of having friends who are architects is all access passes to take pictures of creatively built spaces I would usually have someone chasing me around saying, “Hauezi piga picha hapa!”

These last few months were an extra treat because I got to team up with another super star. My friend Sam Muchai of Aerial Affairs. Sam’s drone photography is fast gaining traction and I am proud to be one of his partners.

Almond Grove is a closed community residential area design by Lexicon+ION. Each unit is a three bedroomed self-contained home with modern finishing.

The outside facade is designed for family. Each unit has a parking space but the outer street is wide enough for young bike riders to enjoy or play exciting games of hopscotch.

Interiors are well fitted and just waiting for your creative eye to come and furnish. For now, Athi River seems like quite a distance away. But with a lot of commercial activity moving out of the city of Nairobi, Athi River will soon become the next big residential area.

This will definitely be an amazing residential area. Those who have already moved in are definitely enjoying the benefits of the serenity so far.
