KAGVRV is a Vancouver based design practice working across residential and small commercial projects with a focus on clarity, craft and territorial awareness. We design laneway houses, adaptive reuse spaces and tightly choreographed interiors, and we collaborate closely with builders and clients to deliver grounded and thoughtful architecture. Our work is guided by research into corridors of sovereignty, indigenous territorial futures and planetary urbanism themes that inform how we approach material, landscape and space at every scale.

Refuge in Kajiado
Project Location : Kajiado, Kenya
Project Location : Kajiado, Kenya
The proposed Waiting Wombs campus in Kajiado, Kenya provides a temporary shelter to women who are ostracized by their families due to their inability to bear children. To sustain its operations and con- tribute a solution to increasing food insecurity and human wildlife conflict in the region, the campus houses a vertical farm. The farm provides income and contributes food for the women and the commu- nity at large. It further provides feed for livestock animals in the region.
Waiting Wombs Trust (WWT) is a Kenyan Public Benefit Organiza- tion (PBO) that works to create awareness, provide support and mo- bilization of families who for varied reasons have experiences of childlessness or have walked the child waiting period in their mar- riage. The organization was conceptualized and initiated in March 2017 by a couple directly affected by childlessness and infertility.
