Façade Treatment
Re-composition of elevations using cladding, texture, colour blocking and shadow lines to give a flat building depth and rhythm.
Exterior Design
The first impression your building makes.
Façades, entrances, terraces and compounds designed as one composition — durable in Nairobi weather and unmistakable from the road.

The discipline
A building is judged before anyone opens the door
Exterior work has to survive long rains, hard sun and dust — and still look considered five years later. That rules out a lot of finishes that photograph well and fail quickly.
We design façades, entrances and compounds as a single composition: cladding and colour, the way light falls across the elevation at dusk, where the eye lands as a car turns in, and how water is going to leave the building. Then we specify materials that hold up.
- Façade concepts and elevation studies
- Cladding, stone, timber and rendered finishes
- Entrance features, canopies and gates
- Paving, terraces and landscape integration
What is included
Exterior scope we deliver
Whole-elevation transformations or a single targeted intervention.
Cladding & Stone
Natural stone, engineered panel, WPC, aluminium composite and timber-effect systems, specified for Kenyan exposure and correctly detailed at junctions.
Entrances & Canopies
Porches, porticos, feature doors, canopies and drop-off areas that signal arrival and give shelter that actually works in the rain.
Landscape & Paving
Driveways, walkways, terraces, planting beds and lawns coordinated with the building so the compound reads as one design.
Exterior Lighting
Façade wash, path lighting, bollards and feature uplighting on timers or sensors, using IP-rated fittings suited to outdoor life.
Perimeter & Security
Boundary walls, gates, railings and screens designed to be secure without turning the property into a compound of blank concrete.

“An exterior has to work twice: once at forty kilometres an hour from the road, and once at walking pace at the front door.
How it runs
How an exterior project runs
Weather-dependent, but most residential elevations complete within four to eight weeks.
01
Site & Elevation Survey
We photograph and measure every elevation, note drainage, orientation and existing defects, and check the substrate.
Week 1
02
Concept Elevations
Two or three treated elevation options with material call-outs and a day and dusk view.
Week 1 – 2
03
Material Selection
Physical samples of cladding, stone, render and paint reviewed on site in natural light.
Week 2
04
Quotation & Programme
Itemised pricing with a weather-allowance programme and scaffolding or access plan.
Week 2 – 3
05
Preparation & Works
Substrate repair, waterproofing, fixing systems and finishes applied in sequence with quality checks at each stage.
Week 3 onwards
06
Landscape & Handover
Paving, planting and lighting completed last, site cleared, and a joint inspection of every elevation.
Final week

Access and scaffolding are planned to keep at least one entrance clear at all times, and noisy operations are scheduled into agreed windows. For commercial buildings we routinely work outside trading hours.
