Design Approach
This was an experimental project at inception, that was very successful on completion. The
client for this project was very particular on three items; use of local technology, use of local
materials and use of local labor with carbon net zero as the main theme. This cold room is
predominantly made of timber which is local , the insulation material is straw bales, while the
exterior envelope is made of eco boards which is made of recycled paper waste.
We're proud to to have been part of this experimental yet successful project, as this cold room
has been and still is of service to traders in Homa Bay municipal market offering storage
solutions and minimizing agricultural waste.
