All project descriptions are provided by SBID Awards entrants.

Nairobi’s hotel scene has been consistently growing, but very few of its hotels have created spaces or experiences that are authentic, innovative or reflective of its diverse population. Understanding this background was a fundamental framework to Areen’s design of The Social House in Nairobi and is evident from the moments guests enter its ‘The Living Room’. From the design of its 83 rooms (including 6 suites), the project also included 4 distinct F&B outlets with global influences ranging from a moody Grill to a vibrant Peruvian rooftop bar; flexible meeting rooms each with a different design language; and 8 flexible events spaces. Each space in The Social House has been designed with a bespoke approach and to stimulate guests to shape their own personal experiences, connections and journeys.
