We are designers and builders collaborating to create ecological architecture in East Africa. Motivated in equal parts by idealism, pragmatism and professionalism, we have assembled a closely-knit team of professionals who together are committed to advancing green architecture in theory and in practice.

This approach emphasizes a deep immersion into the project's specific geographical and socio-economic context. It begins with a meticulous exploration of local climates, analyzing seasonal variations, temperature extremes, humidity levels, and dominant wind patterns. This climatic data is then harmonized with an inventory of locally available materials and the existing skill sets and techniques of the regional workforce.

Furthermore, true sustainability demands a keen eye on the local economy. By prioritizing local procurement and craftsmanship, projects can funnel resources back into the community, fostering sustainable economic growth and building local resilience. The ultimate goal is the formulation of climate-responsive, economical, and technically sound solutions—design outcomes that are optimized for energy efficiency based on their environment, financially viable for the client and community, and robust enough to stand the test of time using established, trusted methods and materials.
