• HERENCIA GATED COMMUNITY •

Pre-Approved House Plans

Every Herencia plot comes with access to nine pre-approved house plans designed exclusively for a gated community setting in Thika, meaning you can move from plot purchase to groundbreaking without hiring an architect or waiting on planning approvals.

Ávila — 5 Bedroom Pre-Approved House Plan

The Ávila is a modern flat-roofed design with five generously spacious bedrooms, all en suite — making it the largest bedroom offering across all Herencia typologies. Because of the extended height glazing on windows and doors, the interior is flooded with natural light throughout the day, while the open-plan kitchen seamlessly connects the dining area, living room, and kitchen yard at the rear.

Additionally, the Ávila is designed for families who value both space and street presence. The sprawling layout sits comfortably on the 1/8-acre Herencia plot, making it one of the most efficient uses of the available footprint.

Total area: 270sqm · Ground floor: 150sqm · Upper floor: 120sqm · Ground coverage: 33%

Approximate construction cost: KSh 40,000–50,000 per sqm · Estimated total build cost: KSh 10.8M–KSh 13.5M

Málaga — 4 Bedroom Pre-Approved House Plan

The Málaga is a modern flat-roofed design comprising four delightfully spacious bedrooms, making it one of the most popular typologies for growing families at Herencia. Unlike the Ávila’s more vertical layout, the Málaga is designed to maximise the sense of space across both floors — with large panes of windows and doors that bring in natural light and connect the interior to the vibrant street scene outside.

Furthermore, the Málaga’s design philosophy is rooted in the natural surroundings of the Herencia community. The open layout allows residents to seamlessly bring the outdoors in, creating a calm and connected living environment that suits families who value both comfort and nature.

Specs line: Total area: 295sqm · Ground floor: 170sqm · Upper floor: 125sqm

Cost line: Approximate construction cost: KSh 40,000–50,000 per sqm · Estimated total build cost: KSh 11.8M–KSh 14.75M

Melilla — Modernist 2-Storey Pre-Approved House Plan

Modernist 2-Storey Pre-Approved House. The Melilla is a two-storey modernist design that accentuates clean lines and minimalist details making it the boldest architectural statement among the Herencia typologies. The exterior juxtaposes white stucco with natural stone, creating a striking contrast that stands out within the gated community streetscape. Furthermore, a double-height lounge with a large glass window floods the interior with natural light, giving the home a sense of openness and volume that belies its compact footprint.

Because the bedrooms are positioned on the upper level, each with its own private balcony, residents enjoy both privacy and an elevated outlook over the community. Additionally, the sleek modern kitchen and open dining area on the ground floor create a natural flow for everyday family living comfortable, inviting, and unmistakably contemporary.

Total area: 270sqm · Ground floor: 170sqm · Upper floor: 100sqm

Approximate construction cost: KSh 40,000–50,000 per sqm · Estimated total build cost: KSh 10.8M–KSh 13.5M

The front of the house features a covered porch with pillars and a symmetrical façade. The overall effect is a warm and inviting space that reflects a timeless, classic aesthetic.
