Founded by AbdulFatah Adam, the practice designs and makes at every scale — from hand-held objects and bespoke furniture to interiors, buildings, and self-initiated developments — on the conviction that architecture cannot be fully responsible for the spaces it creates unless it has first been responsible for the things within them. The practice is rooted in Nairobi’s urban complexity: its climate, its craft traditions, its informal and formal spatial logics, and the full range of its design demands. For nearly two decades, studio.fourteen has worked across residential, educational, civic, and religious typologies in Kenya and beyond — from a primary school built with SelgasCano in Kibera to high-end residential developments in Nairobi’s northern suburbs, from a prototype school typology for post-conflict Somalia to a residential tower proposal engaging the climate intelligence of Arabian vernacular architecture. studio.fourteen is now also an architect-developer: initiating, designing, and delivering buildings in which design authority is total from the first site visit to the final detail. It is, in this mode as in all others, a practice that believes the brief is too important to leave to someone else. https://studiofourteen.ke/Urban Thu, 02 Jul 2020 08:39:55 +0000 studio.fourteen
