ONE WAY TICKET TO KENYA, PLEASE?

Around this time of year, most people are planing their Summer getaways with friends and family. Most could say when you think of a "Summer getaway", you think either Hawaii or Mexico; somewhere where there's plenty of beach and sun. This recent discovery of mine has left me dreaming of not Hawaii, not Mexico, but of Africa! 
Italian designer Marzia Chierichetti created a sculptural concrete house on the coast of Kenya, using nothing but sustainable materials for furnishing. She has created this down-to-earth retreat drawing inspiration from the idea of "creating something out of nothing", using only resources from the surrounding nature. This retreat is complete with all the essentials for a modern life of indulgence and relaxation, and is furnished by Marzia’s own designs. I have posted pictures below for you to scroll through. This house is stunning. Enjoy!
