Interior design and sourcing · Nairobi · Since 2016

Your interior should shape your building. Not the other way around.

We start before the architect draws a single wall, so every room is designed once, costed once and built right the first time.

Tell us where your project is today.

There are two ways to move a wall. A pen or a hammer.

On paper, a change costs almost nothing. After it is built, you pay to break it and pay again to build it. The difference is timing. That is why we start at the beginning.

Why we start early

Three ways in.

Detail and Depth

We begin where most studios end; with complete understanding. Lifestyle discovery, concept, documentation and coordination, guided by one studio and executed by trusted specialists.

About the studio

One studio. Four things handled.

  1. 01

    Design

    Every room planned, drawn and documented before anything is built or bought.

  2. 02

    Cost control

    A quantity surveyor on every project, managing your budget from the first drawing.

  3. 03

    Project management

    One studio coordinating contractors, suppliers and consultants, so the calls do not come to your phone.

  4. 04

    Sourcing

    Local makers and suppliers first. International pieces through SORCD Project, our procurement arm for IPS clients.

What do most clients ask?

How do I get started?

Tell us about your project through the discovery form. It takes two minutes, and we reply within two working days with the next step.

Which service is right for me?

TVB™ is for ground up builds, from land, before an architect is appointed. Full-Service suits a completed shell, or a build where the architect is already on board. SORCD Select suits anyone choosing finishes, starting with tiles, at fixed showroom prices.

What size of project do you take on?

Full-Service projects start from KES 3 million in fit out and furnishing value. TVB™ projects start from KES 10 million in total build value, including interior fit out. These figures are the value of the work, not our design fee. Our fee is quoted separately once we understand the scope.

How is your fee set?

We scope the project first, then quote a fixed design fee. Quantity surveying and project management are set out clearly in the proposal.

What does a project cost overall?

It depends on size, finishes and how much is built in. We help you set a realistic budget before design begins.

Do you work outside Nairobi?

Across Kenya, including upcountry and the coast. Travel beyond Nairobi is quoted separately.
