House inspired by love for art

Nairobi Tree House. 

Nestled in Karen amid breathtaking views of the Ngong forest is the Nairobi Tree House. Born in New York to an Egyptian father and an American mother, the owner of the Tree House Jonny Dwek moved to Kenya in 2005.

When it was time to build, he knew he wanted an unconventional house that allowed humans, animals and nature to live in harmony.
