Office Interior Design & Fit-Out in Nairobi

Workspaces planned around headcount, growth and how your team actually works — in Westlands, Upper Hill, Kilimani, Parklands and across Nairobi.

What an office project includes

An office fit-out is a business decision before it is a design decision. It affects how many people you can seat, how quickly you outgrow the space, what clients think when they walk in, and whether your team can hear each other think.

We plan workspaces from the numbers first: headcount now, headcount in two years, meeting demand, storage, circulation and the lease terms you are working within. Then we make it look like your business rather than a generic office.

  • Space audit and occupancy planning — how many people the floor plate genuinely supports
  • Workspace layout: desks, collaboration areas, meeting rooms, quiet space and circulation
  • Partitioning strategy — glazed, solid or open, with acoustic performance considered
  • Meeting room design including acoustics, screen sightlines and cable management
  • Reception and client-facing areas that carry your brand
  • Lighting design planned for screen work, not just general brightness
  • Ceiling, flooring and finish specification suitable for commercial wear
  • Brand integration — colour, signage and material language drawn from your identity
  • Coordination with landlord requirements, building management and service routes
  • Phased execution planning where you need to keep operating during the fit-out

How an office fit-out runs

01

Brief and space audit

We establish headcount, growth plans, working patterns, meeting demand and lease constraints, then measure the space.

02

Test fits

We produce layout options showing what the floor plate actually supports, so you can decide on the space before you commit to a design.

03

Concept and 3D

Material direction, brand integration and photorealistic visualization of reception, open plan and meeting spaces.

04

Technical package

Partition drawings, ceiling and lighting layouts, joinery details, and coordination with building services.

05

Procurement

Furniture, partitioning, lighting and finishes ordered against confirmed lead times.

06

Fit-out and handover

Site coordination, phased where you need to keep working, quality checks, snagging and handover.

Frequently asked

Can you work while we keep operating?

Yes. Phased fit-outs are common — we plan the sequence so teams move once rather than repeatedly, and schedule disruptive work outside business hours where the building allows.

Do you handle landlord approvals?

We prepare the drawings and specifications landlords and building management typically require, and coordinate with them through the process.

What size of office do you work on?

From small studio offices through to full floor plates. Smaller offices often benefit most, because every square metre has to work harder.

Do you supply furniture?

Yes, as part of design and build. We can specify and procure, or produce a schedule for you to buy against if you prefer to purchase directly.

Can you design around our brand?

That is a core part of how we work. Colour, material and signage are drawn from your identity so the space reads as your business, not a template.
