Embu Residential Development: Designing a Retirement Home with Purpose
Location: Embu, Kenya
Project Completion: 2019
Project Team: Ngochi Contractors Ltd
Projectscope: Design & Build
Homes built for retirement are not just structures they’re legacies. In 2024, Ngochi Contractors Ltd. was entrusted with a highly personal project: the design and construction of a retirement home nestled in the serene landscape of Embu Meka. This wasn’t a fast-paced urban build. It was a thoughtful, phased journey that blended functionality, comfort, and timeless design.
A Vision Rooted in Legacy
From the outset, the client had a powerful vision to craft a forever home that would hold all the comforts and dreams he’d been building toward over the years.The brief was clear: everything imaginable in a home but done patiently, one layer at a time. This was a passion project, a long-term goal realized not in a rush, but with care.
