Hello. For your complete peace of mind, I will be handling the development with the backing of my more than 21 years of experience as an architect and my 8 years of 5-star reputation on Freelancer.com. I have designed numerous projects, using materials such as concrete, stone, and wood. I know exactly how to orient facades towards the southeast monsoon to ensure cross-ventilation, how to protect the fronts from the direct sunlight with eaves, and how to seamlessly integrate the architecture while respecting the existing tree canopy. Visualize the impact of your proposal on investors or future guests: furnished units with open floor plans, integrated kitchens, en-suite bathrooms, jacuzzis, and a rooftop terrace crowning the complex with swimming pools, gyms, and seamlessly integrated solar panels. We will optimize your energy and time through a three-phase project: Phase 1 (Site and Zoning): Placement of the two buildings on their respective sites, maximizing the privacy of the ground-floor gardens, calculating parking for six vehicles with sliding doors, and orienting the buildings to capture the wind. Phase 2 (Architectural Plans): Distribution of typical floor plans combining one- and two-bedroom units with fluid circulation and the rooftop configuration. Phase 3 (3D Modeling and Renderings): Creation of 3D models in SketchUp and production of photorealistic renderings that capture the materiality (concrete, stone, thatch, white textures) under the real Kenyan light.

Hi, I can design both apartment buildings with distinct architectural identities—one Santorini/Cycladic Mediterranean and one Bali tropical-modern—while ensuring they function as premium short-let properties optimized for Airbnb guests, privacy, passive cooling, and strong visual appeal. 1. Do you have any local zoning restrictions or maximum building height requirements for the Diani Beach site? 2. Approximately how many total units would you like per building, or should I maximize the layout while maintaining a luxury feel and spacious unit sizes? I’ve reviewed the project details and understand the importance of climate-responsive design, preserving existing trees, maximizing natural ventilation, creating private outdoor spaces for ground-floor units, rooftop leisure amenities, swimming pools, fitness areas, solar integration, and a balanced mix of 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments. The design will prioritize guest experience, privacy, efficient circulation without elevators, and high-end architectural character using concrete and natural stone materials. Deliverables: • Architectural concept development • Space planning and floor plans • Site plan and landscape integration • 3D Modeling (SketchUp / 3ds Max) • Photorealistic Exterior & Interior Renderings (V-Ray / Lumion) • Elevations and architectural presentation drawings • Rooftop amenity and pool design • Material and façade development I would be happy to review the reference renders and discuss the optimal unit mix and development strategy for the site.
