Upper Kololo No6
This residential project, located in Uganda, aims to create a living environment that is both sensitive to its context and defined by a strong volumetric composition articulated through modern architectural lines and a refined palette of natural materials. The façade features a harmonious combination of natural stone and timber cladding, establishing a visual and material continuity with its surroundings. Tectonic shifts within the massing emphasize dynamic spatial relationships, while cantilevers and recesses introduce rhythmic movement and facilitate nuanced light interactions within the interior spaces.
The communal areas of the building have been carefully designed to enrich user experience. A swimming pool situated at the ground level, along with generous landscaped areas and hobby spaces, function as semi-public realms that promote social interaction while offering opportunities for rest and relaxation. At the entrance, a dedicated reception area adds not only functional value but also a sense of distinguished welcome to the development.
The interior design strategy centers on creating autonomous and private living units. Each residence features its own dedicated entrance foyer, offering residents an experience akin to that of a detached home. At the heart of the spatial experience are zen gardens inspired by the lush natural texture of Uganda, positioned at the entry of each house. These gardens serve as both visual anchors and functional elements that strengthen the bond between interior space and nature.
While the interior organization follows a modern design language, it is balanced with traditional elements and locally inspired materials. Natural stone flooring, warm wooden textures, and refined lighting fixtures contribute to a serene yet striking spatial atmosphere. The No.6 project is envisioned as a harmonious integration of contemporary architecture with local context—offering both aesthetic distinction and spatial quality in equal measure.
