When one encounters the project, the intention of the architect is clear with the language of ‘T’s and jutting forms used in the buildings. The client wanted to name the project ‘Tempean’. He envisioned a beautiful, serene place for the estate. The project architects translated the client’s needs into a space designed with spacious grounds with a lot of greenery—the typical apartment block typology that occupies 60% of the plot ratio was completely out of the question. The units would be simple houses; bungalows set up like family homes in Uganda, with room around them for relaxation, or if the families had children, for them to play. The design would be aspirational, with the building elements soaring, which is why the walls look like they are just about ready for take-off. The colours chosen and material palette were also chosen carefully to complement the overall calm, serene ambience. One accesses the stand-alone unit which is on a higher terrain via steps finished with clay tiles, flanked with terraced retaining walls finished with stone slates. The warm browns and yellows for the exterior walls are contrasted beautifully with the black stone veneers for the column at the front façade of the buildings. The metal elements like the steel handrails and the window frames are painted green to compliment the estate’s landscape for an overall earthy feel.
