When architect Andrea Veglia talks about the origins of Falcon House, there's a tone of nostalgia in his voice. The project, a private retreat on the coast of Kenya, has an origin story that reaches back to midcentury Californian architecture, his client's childhood, his own fascinations with modernist architecture, and summer holidays in Sardinia. Yet, by looking at the home, it's also clear that it's been infused with a strong dose of simplicity and a site-specific approach that distills all the above into an escape that feels at home in its rural setting.
