After years of criticism, Kenyan architects have finally started designing modern homes that appeal to the younger generation. The shift is evident in Nairobi, where traditional designs once dominated the market.
As millennials begin to accumulate wealth and purchase homes for themselves, contemporary designs are gaining popularity. These modern homes feature floor-to-ceiling glass windows, flat roofs, and open kitchens, which are a far cry from the traditional designs that were once the norm.
One such development is Deerpark Karen, a small gated community in the exclusive Miotoni area. The 10-unit development sits on 5 acres of land, with each villa boasting 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 2 living rooms, a swimming pool, 2 kitchens, and a club house.
The luxurious villas are priced at Sh120 million, making them a sought-after option for those seeking a modern lifestyle in a wealthy neighborhood. The development's unique features and luxurious amenities have caught the attention of Nigerian YouTuber Steven Ndukwu, who recently shared a tour of the property on his channel.
