Architecture Wednesday: Red Pepper House

From above it looks like a small mountain on a remote island in the middle of the sea.

From the ground it's a luxurious vacation rental in Lamu, Kenya, on an eight-acre plot surrounded by an acacia forest.

The organic shape, with its soft curves and high roof peaks, are created through the use of makuti roof covers over a platform that houses different cube-shaped, coral stone buildings and open-air rooms.

It's indoors, while it's outdoors, and its steps from the beach and a world away from anyone else.
