Maurine explains what to think about, what to ask and how to turn an idea into a home that suits you.
A holiday home taking shape in Sweetwaters
A place to enjoy the views, a covered veranda to spend time outside, and room for the everyday jobs that keep a home running. Maurine Gitonga designed this two-bedroom holiday home in Sweetwaters, near Ol Pejeta. Here is how the plans connect to the house TimberStone is building.
Which three-bedroom bungalow would suit your family?
Two houses can have three bedrooms and still feel very different to live in. These bungalow ideas from Maurine Gitonga show why: one has a courtyard and separate TV room; the other has an outdoor kitchen and laundry. Think about how your family spends its day as you compare them.
A courtyard bungalow with room to spend time outside
If you want outdoor space close to the rooms you use every day, a courtyard is worth considering. This three-bedroom bungalow idea from Maurine Gitonga combines a courtyard, decks, a lounge and a separate TV room. Here is what to think about before making it your own.
A five-bedroom bungalow for family life and visiting guests
A larger household needs more than extra bedrooms. It needs places to gather, somewhere quiet to work and enough room for cooking, laundry and storage. This five-bedroom bungalow idea from Maurine Gitonga includes a study, sunroom and separate TV room, with everything on one level.
Planning a house? Here is what to tell your architect
You do not need to know architectural terms or arrive with a finished floor plan. Start with the home you want: who will live there, what you enjoy doing and what your current house gets wrong. Maurine Gitonga, TimberStone’s architect, can help you turn those ideas into a plan.
