Designing for Embu
- Plan for the cold: a fireplace, well-sealed windows and good roof insulation make a big difference in Nyeri, Nyandarua, Meru and Embu.
- Sloping sites are common, so the design should step with the land. Retaining walls and drainage are planned at the site visit.
- Heavy rainfall makes rainwater harvesting very worthwhile. Tanks can be designed into the roof or the compound.
Popular materials here: dressed stone, cypress timber, clay tiles and steep pitched roofs.
