ngong house in kenya“In 1994 Paul Verleysen, a Belgian construction engineer and former diplomat who had spent most of his career in Africa, bought 10 acres of land near the Karen/Langata border in Kenya and opened a lodge that he called Ngong House. “I imagined it as a soulful alternative to the hotels in town,” he says, “which are luxurious but all more or less in the same high-rise, air-conditioned modern mold.” (architectural digest, april 2007)
