What we do

One vision.
Every detail.

Five services that overlap on purpose. Design runs into joinery, joinery into build, and someone who sat in the design meeting stays on site until the last adjustment is made.

01 — Capabilities

Five services,
one responsibility.

Take one of them or all five. What does not change is that the person who drew the detail is the person answering for it on site.

Design · Build · Oversight

02 — One studio

Design, build and oversight under one roof.

An interior is usually handed between three companies: one draws it, one builds it, and a third is asked to explain why the two do not match. We kept all three in the same studio.

That changes what can be promised. A detail is drawn knowing who will cut it, priced by the people who will install it, and inspected by someone who sat in the design meeting.

  • One drawing set, from first survey to final installation
  • Joinery designed and made in our own workshop
  • A single point of contact for the whole programme
  • Work checked on site against the approved specification

03 — How we engage

Three ways
to engage.

How much of the project we hold is your decision. Each of these is a normal way to work with us, and none of them is a stepping stone to another.

01

Design only

We take the space from survey to a documented design. Your own contractor prices the work and builds from the package we issue.

Included

  • Survey, spatial planning and layouts
  • Material, colour and finish schedules
  • Lighting, switching and joinery drawings
  • A package a contractor can price from

Not included

  • Construction, procurement and installation
  • Programme control and site supervision
02 Most complete

Design and build

The same studio draws it and builds it. One programme, one price, and nobody to point at when a detail does not match the drawing.

Included

  • Everything in a design-only package
  • Joinery drawn and made in our workshop
  • Interior build, finishes and installation
  • Snagging, handover and close-out documents

Not included

  • Structural, MEP and external works, which we coordinate with specialists rather than carry out
03

Concierge

Representation on a project somebody else is delivering. We hold the standard, the reporting and the coordination; you keep the contract.

Included

  • Scheduled inspections with dated photo reports
  • Contractor and supplier coordination
  • Quality review against the specification
  • Snag lists tracked through to completion

Not included

  • We do not hold the building contract or direct the contractor’s labour — instructions remain yours to give

Fees follow the scope rather than the floor area. Design is a fee quoted against a defined brief; build and joinery are priced from approved drawings, so the number you approve is the number you pay unless you instruct a change in writing.

04 — Our method

The method,
in six steps.

The same sequence on a single room and on a whole floor. The scale changes; the order does not.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Your brief, lifestyle, requirements and project objectives.

  2. 02

    Define

    Scope, spatial priorities and a focused design direction.

  3. 03

    Develop

    Concepts, layouts, materials and the complete visual language.

  4. 04

    Specify

    Finishes, fittings, hardware and technical details.

  5. 05

    Execute

    Fabrication, installation and coordinated implementation.

  6. 06

    Deliver

    Review, refinement and a finished space ready to inhabit.

05 — Common questions

Asked and answered.

Where do you work?
Nairobi and the surrounding counties for design, build and joinery. Design-only and concierge engagements we take on anywhere our travel can be justified by the project.
What does a project cost?
Design is fee-based and quoted against a defined scope. Build and joinery are priced from approved drawings, so the number you approve is the number you pay unless you instruct a change in writing.
Can I use you for design only?
Yes. A significant part of our work is documentation packages that a client's own contractor builds from.
How do we start?
Send us the space, the constraint and your timing — through the contact form or the AI Studio brief builder. We will tell you what we think the most useful first step is, even when that is not hiring us yet.
