KOKEB TESFA RESIDENCE
This refined three-story residence masterfully balances intimate family living with elegant social spaces across its 580m² footprint. We crafted distinct functional zones ground-floor communal areas (open-plan kitchen, great room, and guest suite) seamlessly flowing into private upper levels while maximizing natural light through strategic orientation and generous glazing. Custom tile patterns, warm material palettes, and tiered outdoor spaces create harmony between the structured architecture and its lush surroundings. The design celebrates tailored experiences: a dual-kitchen concept (traditional + modern) honors culinary traditions, while the first-floor master suite and children’s bedrooms prioritize tranquility through curated sightlines and bespoke joinery. Every detail—from the floating staircases to the study sanctuary atop—embodies our ethos of elevated simplicity, where precision engineering meets artisanal warmth in a timeless Addis Ababa landmark.
