Some of our recent Projects.

Private Law Firm

This leading African law firm engaged Planning Interiors to design their new head office in Nairobi, requesting interiors that were contemporary and appealed to both local and international clients.

The design focus was strictly on capturing the essence of materials, such as wood, stone, and glass, complemented by the client’s corporate colors.

Special consideration was given to the nature of the business and client privacy. The office floors were kept clean and simple with more well-appointed finishes in the client meeting suites on the ground floor and the client entertainment areas on the fourth and fifth floors.

Cocacola

Coca-Cola asked Planning Interiors to design their new regional office for Central, East, and West Africa. The office was to be state of the art with high levels of technology and audio-visual equipment, but at the same time was to have authentic design elements reflecting the different areas of the African continent that formed the work of this office. This was achieved with a vibrant artwork and accessories scheme featuring various Kenyan artists.

The main reception features subtle design elements that capture the classic Coca-Cola brand with local design elements, which was achieved in some of the light fittings and other decorative elements.

The office was to be entirely open plan with no private offices. Unassigned sit/stand workstations were provided throughout, and lockers were used to store personal belongings.

A wide variety of focus spaces including pods, huddle rooms, meeting rooms of various sizes, and a library were provided. Bold African prints were used as fabrics in breakout spaces, which worked as a divider between workstation clusters.

High levels of acoustic privacy were achieved by double-glazed partitions, carpet tiles, and suspended acoustical ceiling panels from OWA’s Sinfonia range. Fun features like work-cycle bikes were positioned in some meeting rooms allowing the user to work and cycle at the same time – in keeping with Coca-Cola’s commitment to health and well-being.

Cellulant

Cellulant is a young and rapidly growing African Fintech company. Their new home was to be a reflection of their young and vibrant brand, and the design brief was to create an environment that promoted collaboration, innovation, and openness that also focused on employee wellbeing.

Cellulant’s new office was a large space that had to accommodate their rapidly growing and agile workforce. However, their budget was limited so Planning Interiors Limited had to be creative with our design approach. They used a lot of locally available materials and collaborated with various workshops and artisans to achieve a local look and feel. Workstations were designed and custom-made locally but still had high levels of functionality and IT capabilities. Being a turnkey project, they were able to deliver this project through a very hands-on process.

The most striking area of the office is the reception which has a series of colorful timber slats emanating from the reception bench and dispersing to various parts of the office, which speaks to the design language of the project is “Connecting everyone, everything, every day” and being in line with their brand. There was a high level of detailing in the design to achieve some of the features such as the tables, workstations, lockers, and ceiling features. The end result is a very unique office that is unlike any other in the region, and a very happy team that loves coming to work.

Mayfair Bank

Working closely with the client’s branding agency, Planning Interiors was involved with Mayfair Bank’s launch into the Kenyan market, starting with their head office in KAM House, Westlands.

The ground floor at KAM House features its first banking hall, so their brand needed to be adequately represented in this client-facing area. As their clients are of a high caliber, it was also important that the atmosphere reflected this, which we did using high-quality materials and Barcelona chairs.

Nyama Mama

Nyama Mama is an unpretentious, fun, modern-day African roadside diner that is to be a sought-after destination.

I&M Bank

The scope of work for the new I&M Bank Head Office on Limuru road was the interior design of 6 floors.

We began with a Workplace Audit of their current head office.

The design inspiration for the interiors of this iconic building was the FOLD; creases, pleats, curves, and patterns.

Sierra Brasserie 

Having successfully completed their first Sierra Brasserie retail outlet at Yaya Centre in Nairobi, Planning Interiors was asked to create a new up-market restaurant that would specialize in pairing unique wines from boutique estates in South Africa with a range of gourmet burgers and tapas.

The restaurant was also to have a boutique wine-selling shop attached to it.

The design brief of the restaurant was for it to be a sophisticated, New York-style loft diner, which was achieved using exposed brickwork, wood, and leather.

Specialised Aluminum teamed up with Planning Interiors to execute the fit-out requirements. Finishing touches were achieved by using bold, abstract paintings, flower arrangements and white tableware.

OSIEA

Located at Riverside Drive in Nairobi city, The Open Society Initiative FOR EASTERN AFRICA ( OSIEA) Nairobi offices feature modern, sustainable, and lively workplace interiors.

In line with the client’s value of inclusivity, we created a new office that has a design language of homely, vibrant, innovative, diverse, Afrocentric, and sustainable.
