JAMIITOWN

Co-author: HOMA Architetti (www.homadesign.blogspot.com) Armando Passuello Website: www.jamiitown.com Along the A8 road, just 5 km from the centre of Kilifi, forms a small independent community: an enclosed microcosm that contains the qualities of a real city. Playgrounds, green spaces, gardens, squares and streets in a device that has 69 terraced houses positioned on a rigurous grid. The openings between the houses become private green patios while the space between the small districts encourages social encounters. The protagonists inside Jamiitown are two centenarian baobabs that characterize the two inner parks of the city. The accesses to the walled city, reminiscent of medieval cities, are controlled. Jamiitown guarantees maximum security for residents. In addition to housing, a small shop provides basic necessities for residents. A 10-minute walk away are 3 primary schools Mtondia, Mikingirini and Basi. The dispensary of Mtondia is only one kilometer away.
