  • About Firm
    Studio Mehta Architecture is an award winning Nairobi-based practice established by Amar Mehta in 2019. The practice is committed to the delivery of innovative and ambitious designs that actively contribute to the development and improvement of our built environment.

Casa BP, nestled in the heart of Nairobi, is a courtyard home that seamlessly blends modern design with the traditional vernacular of Courtyard Homes.

The design of Casa BP harmoniously embraces the demands of its Kenyan environment. Its rooftop gardens, adorned with native grasses, serve as a natural insulation barrier, effectively regulating the building's thermal mass. This eco-conscious approach ensures a comfortable living environment year-round whilst the angled eaves are strategically positioned to control the intake of natural light.
