In this last article (part three in my series "In Love With Design!") we continue with our commentary on the magnificent redesign of the Peugeot family's Kenya Lamu residence, as envisioned and implemented by the prestigious Modola interior design company.
The foliage and vegetation is simply adorable, with clusters of mangrove (a swamplike plant) that climb up out of the earth and envelop palm fronds and an array of white and yellow desert flowers, which look a little like the yellow buttercups that one often sees in London's royal parks. The Modola interior design company installed the pool in an el evated position, fully 10 metres above the beachfront below. The poolside pergola is where the Peugeots and their closest friends assemble for informal lunches and light dinners prior to the evening's entertainment.
London's best-apportioned residences are often characterised by the traditional English conservatory. The equivalent in Kenyan culture is an architectural feature known as the baraza - a snug, sheltered outdoor private space that is covered with a thatched roof and features beautiful outdoor-safe upholstered couches and recliners. The Modola interior design company installed multiple of these units. One can snack on treats or enjoy social time with friends in these nice little spaces while luxuriating in the refreshing sea breezes. The cushions and throws help the Peugeot family to rest and relax while enjoying a meal or afternoon tea. Accessories have been installed by the Modola interior design company to evoke memories of the beach next door - shells, pebbles, rounded beach rocks, and precious gems adorn the foot of each seating area.
In the poolside pergola, one note of dashing colour reflects the overall philosophy of this interior design company's work in beautiful Kenya . The intense red tablecloth contrasts with the green tint of the dishware and orange highlights in the glasses. In London , such colours may risk feeling overbearing - but on the island of Lamu , with its gorgeous blue skies and rich gold colours of the beach, intense relaxation is the net effect. As the founder of a London-based interior design company myself, I commend the Modola team for their amazing work on what must surely be one of the world's top luxury homes!
