GiRiNZU

GiRiNZU : A Kinyarwanda word meaning "own a home". We are a French-Rwandan company designing and building Urban Villages with the idea that our children would be happy to live there. GiRiNZU was co-founded by Stéphane Monceaux and Jacqueline Wibabara in 2019 and joined by the Groupe Chevrillon in 2020. Our mid-term objective is to create in Kigali 200 housing units per year. Adapted to tropical climate, in altitude and steep hills, our houses are conceived to be very long lasting and tailor-made for the Rwandan way of life. Our Urban Villages are designed and built for the lightest environmental footprint. This approach is reflected in our housing designs as much as in our choices of materials, of urban layouts and in the vegetalisation of every exterior space. We use the world’s best digital tools and processes to ensure an exemplary quality. In accordance with the 2020 VISION RWANDA, we commit to train all our French and Rwandan collaborators, and we favour gender equality in all our activities.
