The house is surrounded by pools, which are used as motes (a wireless sensor node used for security), hence no burglar proof metal doors. The house can accommodate 200 to 250 guests.
“In every way, the design endeavours to respect its relation to nature, and makes specific use of the unique weather conditions in Nairobi, allowing grand spaces which need neither cooling, nor heating,” reads the website description.
The house is being sold for $6.5 million (Sh573 million) by Zana International.
