The former Education Cabinet Secretary Professor George Magoha's Lavington home forms a cozy and comfortable abode, perhaps that which described his flamboyance.
A stride into the compound ushers one into an ideal home where an arch of freestanding columns is flanked on either side by smaller engaged pillars.
Straight from the revealing front yard, the late Magoha's Lavington home forms a decorative elucidation of an elevated foyer that leads directly into the house.
Notably, the calming colours of the house are supported by an archway that serves not only as a support for the upper floor but as a visual break to make the main hallway feel less imposing.
Through the antechamber, the ground floor widens to the sitting area, dining place and an upstairs staircase that provides the main means of egress from the entertainment area of the house to the private rooms on the first floor.
The wooden floor of geometric designs with lighter brown coloured tiles of a thistle design around the firebox entertains the visual carpeting that was originally laid when the house was built.
In the living room where Dr Barbara Magoha was meeting dignitaries who visited the home to condole with the family, a sixteen-foot ceiling, pocket doors, fireplace and tall windows form the main block of the building.
Magoha's Lavington home was built using classic Anglo-Japanese Asymmetrical Design Technologies that create the best kind of exotic motifs.
Themed in the frieze on the ceilings and walls, Magoha's home defines a new facade for the floor that was curated by wooden nura installations throughout the lobby area.
The Lavington home's wooden ceiling and floor create an interesting contrast to the trim painting of ashen brown, tans, pale blues and black detailing the structural authority of the house's interior design.
The wooden ceiling architecture that was used to build the former CS George Magoha's home provided truss grids that are clearly spanning the living space which was insulated with adhesive elements.
The ceiling technology featured a roof framing that runs into partitions which are carrying the roof load through the structure to the foundation.
Extending large doors and overflowing windows of Magoha's house are molded in painted wood with bulls-eye corner blocks and decorative accents on the door that lead to the baseboard.
At a glance, it is possible to see the door knobs, plates, and hinges which are brass with raised Eastlake-style ornament.
