PURPLE HAZE
For the new residential building Purple Haze in Nairobi, we have created Spatial Interventions to enliven the building's courtyards. Our vision was to establish a seamless connection between the street in front of the building and the river at a lower level at the back of the property. This axis creates a captivating route that meanders through the common amenities of the building and intertwines with its courtyards.
Designed as experiential hubs, these Elemental Courtyards offer spaces for social interaction and relaxation. Each node is adorned with installations that engage one of the senses, paired with a specific material. Visitors can explore a diverse sensory journey as they encounter wood and touch, metal and hearing, water and light, earth and taste, and fire and smell. These sensory experiences enrich the residents' daily lives and create memorable moments within the Purple Haze community.
