Agricultural Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi is once again living in his Runda house and taking advantage of the comforts it has to offer.
Linturi’s house, which is tucked away in one of Runda’s lush neighbourhoods, features free-form exterior cradles that welcome sunset views from a distance.
The Runda home’s gate welcomes guests to a rare form of honor, if not serene environment, and is surrounded by a plantation fence with multi-stemmed willowing trees.
The one-story structure was created as a mushroom plaster dream that fits a modest gathering in the Runda suburb’s wooden enclave.
Succulents and bushes in the front yard of the house provide a low-maintenance alternative to a garden, and the green fence offers the ideal vantage point for watching groomed hedges, birds, and bees pass by the towing mansion.
The Ksh100 million golden brown mansion with its imposing architecture bursts into the air in front of a nearly half-football field overlapping yard.
A visitor can reach a sanded verandah that is tucked between standing columns by walking around the house a few times.
A sculptured external garden and a few strategically placed boulders in the front yard of the compound support the contemporary structure, which is adorned with tall concrete columns.
The tranquility of Runda’s urban environs, sustained by murals made of brownish stone on the walls, drives an emotional comfort.
The chic exterior design combines plaster, varnished wood, and mushroom tones, and a row of well trimmed glade hedges completes the frontage.
The walls of Linturi’s Runda house include vertical glass windows and blinds that match the home’s golden color and a rock entrance that leads to several entrances.
The Runda home is covered in layers of interlocking color variety, with bigger balconies and big glass panes.
The use of nature and technology to merge a beautiful autumn setting was a clever way of introducing a concrete-clad passage and a large glass lounge that opens up the indoor-outdoor flow.
Linturi also integrated a greenery surface that created creeping fern drapes over the mansion’s living and garage areas.
