Building a house in Voi: what to know

Voi sits in Kenya's Coast region, with a hot, humid climate with salty sea air and heavy April–June rains. That shapes the design: design for airflow: high ceilings, cross-ventilation, deep verandas and shaded balconies keep the house cool without running the AC all day.

Salt air corrodes steel quickly, so specify galvanised or stainless fixings, aluminium windows and a good concrete cover to the reinforcement.

Local builders in and around Voi commonly work with coral stone, white-washed walls, makuti or clay tiles, and flat roofs with rooftop terraces for the sea breeze. At the site visit we check your plot's size, slope, soil, access road, power and water connection points, and neighbouring buildings, so the design fits your site and passes the Taita-Taveta County approval the first time.
