Stand-out Elegance
is to learn how to handle the complexity,
rather than shy away from it,
and to realize that the big art of design is to
make complicated things simple.

THE GOAL
THE VISION
Having created a truly special living experience in the heart of Nairobi’s prestigious Muthaiga neighborhood, The Constellation Project consists of three, ultra-exclusive residential properties.The vision was achieved through weaving together a minimalistic aesthetic with world-renowned construction technology - creating an ultra-luxurious dwelling that is truly a sanctuary for the mind and spirit. -
Each home is unique in its execution and built with an ethos and style rooted in the highest conceivable levels of thought, quality and innovation.The beautiful structures have been designed to optimize comfort in livability through the enhancement of the intangible dimensions of light and energy with a design focused on how these dimensions interact and change through the day, ensuring a sense of serenity and tranquility evenly spread across the homes, regardless of morning or evening, rain or sun, winter or summer.
-
The calming aesthetic, free flowing plans and lack of visual distractions ensure an induction into a meditative state thus allowing the inhabitants to reach an elevated state of mind: supportive of rejuvenation, and creativity of thought.
-
Constructed in a minimalist style, using the finest materials and human resources available the villas are exceptionally distinctive in all of Kenya.The Constellation Project, has managed to deliver silence versus so much defining noise; simplicity versus complication; it has managed to achieve everything with almost nothing, delivering more with less.
-
A major accomplishment of The Constellation Project was successfully creating a dwelling space that will remain relevant and dynamic in the face of time, changing technology, and preference.As radical new designs or a slight shifts in style more than often scarcely last a moment before they become a novelty or subtlety become a common currency.
-
Not only does The Constellation Project wish to exemplifying the purity of it’s structures and produce the clearest definition of timeless modernism; a definition that not only sees architecture as a collage of decoration and materials but as a distillation of all domestic functions in their purest organic form.
-
One of the greatest marvels of The Constellation Project was successfully building the structures in their entirety based on specific proportions using mathematics to achieve natural balance and perfection. Due to every aspect of the homes relating to one another in this way, subconsciously inhabitants are instantly induced into a mental state of calm and ease whilst experiencing visual bliss.
-
"We believe that architecture should speak softly. We favor simplicity and enjoy the abstract synthesis of space, light and the movement of air. An architecture of honest forms, with a straightforward grammar of construction, with an acknowledgement of the site and an appreciation of the environment is, in our view, more likely to stand the test of time.”
The Origin
Strategically placed in the ultra-exclusive neighborhood of Muthaiga, situated on Muthaiga Crescent - The Constellation Project symbolically represents the night sky with the crescent moon (the road) and fiery stars scintillating alongside it (the houses).
The ethos of the development was to utilize the intangible dimensions of light and energy - the two elements that essentially create and sustain a star. The homes have been specifically modeled after the historically significant Orion’s Belt constellation, as the three properties that compromise the development, are arranged with the same linear relation to one another as the three stars in Orion’s belt. This linear language is further reflected in each home’s layout through the use of parallel linear planes that create implied spaces, and promote light and energy circulation.
Like the Great Pyramids of Giza, the oldest of the world’s Seven Wonders, built in their current location specifically in the formation of Orion’s Belt; The Constellation Project will forever remain a benchmark to aspire to for architects, engineers, and contractors alike.
The Constellation Project brings together the best in class features and finishes carefully curated, through years of research, from the globes leading suppliers and brands; successfully achieving visual flawlessness coupled with unparalleled functionality.
The kitchens in the villas are complete with premier Italian finishing. Their elegance and beauty complements their state-of-the-art design and functionality.
