A guided tour of the African Heritage House, Athi River
By Alan Donovan
Saturday 28 March 2015
The African Heritage House was conceived by Alan Donovan based on the indigenous architectures he encountered from his many trips through Africa.
Overlooking the Nairobi National Park, this house is described by the prestigious Architectural Digest as “an architecture rising from the serene Kenyan plain like an outcropping of earth, a vision of usefulness informed by the African genius for decoration.”
The house, apart from housing an art collection spanning 50 years from all over Africa, is a piece of art itself, and remains of immeasurable cultural value to all Africans and indeed the whole human race.
PS: On 26 January 2015, African Heritage House was gazetted as a National Monument.
