ケニヤで一番入手し易い建築材料は、泥です。したがって、ほとんどの伝統的な住居は泥によって建造されています。後年、牛糞が壁の仕上塗りに用いられるようになりました。泥の次に入手し易い建築材料は石で、そのため組積造の住宅が一般的です。

OSA Japan is a unit that consisting of two architects from two different countries, Kenya and Japan.OSA started a project to produce more fruitful and various communications by various people between Kenya and Japan. The project is calledRainbow Project because, like a rainbow, there is a colorful bridge between the two countries.

'Tokyo House in Nairobi' is one of our concepts we are trying to do in Rainbow Project. 'Tokyo House' is a place where Kenya and Japan will findpotentialities of each other. For example, it is a model house where you can have real experience about Japanese high technologies of solar energy inJapanese-style space organizations featuring natural lighting and ventilation ---- that is 'Tokyo House'.By opening such model houses in Nairobi, Rainbow Project is aiming to produce various communications in technologies and in human networkbetween Kenya and Japan.

Kenya is a 47 year old nation. Af ter her independence in 1963, rapid rural -urban migrationand imbalanced economic forces led the development of slums and lack of good housing. However new policies by the government are being put in place like expanding Nairobimetropolis and more effort on designing sustainable and energy efficient housing.

ケニアは独立して47 年になります。1963 年の独立以来、地方から都市部への流入人口の急増と所得の不均衡によって、都市部ではスラムが乱立し、良好な居住環境は十分ではありませんでした。しかし、近年では政府の新しい政策により、ナイロビ都心部の拡張構想や、持続可能でエネルギー効率の高い居住計画などが、打ち出されています。
