What we do

Commercial interior design and project delivery across Nairobi

Nairobi projects range from corporate headquarters and leased office floors to clinics, laboratories, hospitality spaces, retail environments, apartments and private homes. Each project has different technical, commercial and operational pressures, so the right starting point is the brief rather than a predetermined style.

Curzey supports projects from early feasibility and space planning through interior design, technical documentation, procurement and delivery. Clients can appoint the studio for design-only services or use an integrated design-and-build route where appropriate.

  • Workplace strategy and office interior design
  • Office fit-out and refurbishment
  • Healthcare and laboratory planning
  • Hospitality, retail and customer-facing interiors
  • Residential interior design and renovation
  • Technical coordination, procurement and project delivery

Workplaces

Planning an office fit-out in Nairobi

Before a Nairobi office fit-out is priced or programmed, the team should understand the base-building conditions, landlord requirements, usable area, headcount, meeting patterns, mechanical and electrical capacity, technology requirements and fixed occupation dates.

A test fit and early technical review can prevent expensive lease or layout decisions. Once the space is confirmed, the brief can be translated into a coordinated design, cost plan, procurement schedule and construction programme.

Integrated delivery

Connecting design decisions to cost, procurement and construction

For suitable Nairobi projects, an integrated design-and-build route can keep workplace planning, technical coordination, cost development, procurement and construction decisions connected. This is particularly useful where occupation dates, landlord interfaces or long-lead items make fragmented decision-making risky.

The delivery route should still make scope, allowances, approvals, variations, quality controls and handover requirements visible. Integration is most useful when it improves coordination without reducing commercial clarity.

  • Brief, test fit and technical due diligence before major commitments
  • Coordinated interior, MEP and specialist design information
  • Scope-led estimating and procurement planning
  • Construction sequencing around landlord and building constraints
  • Quality control, snagging, handover and closeout

Budget

What should a Nairobi interior project budget include?

Clients often compare interior projects using one construction rate, but the total investment may also include furniture, technology, professional fees, landlord deposits, statutory approvals, specialist equipment, relocation, contingency and VAT.

For office fit-outs, early benchmark ranges can help with feasibility, but a measured project-specific estimate should replace broad rates once the site, scope and specification are known.

Coverage

Working across Nairobi's main commercial and residential districts

Curzey supports projects across Nairobi and the wider metropolitan area, including locations such as Westlands, Upper Hill, Kilimani, Kileleshwa, Lavington, Riverside, Gigiri, Karen, Runda and Muthaiga, subject to project scope and availability.

The location itself affects more than travel. Building management rules, access times, parking and loading, lift protection, landlord approvals, contractor induction and site logistics can materially influence the fit-out programme and preliminaries.

Frequently asked questions

Useful answers before you start.

How do I choose an interior designer in Nairobi?

Yes. Curzey supports projects across Nairobi and the wider metropolitan area, including major commercial and residential districts, subject to project scope and availability.

Can Curzey help us evaluate an office before we sign a lease?

Yes. Early test fitting and technical due diligence can help assess usable area, workplace capacity, building-services constraints, landlord requirements and likely fit-out implications before lease commitment.

Do you provide design-and-build services in Nairobi?

Yes. Curzey can provide integrated design-and-build services or a design-only route depending on the client's procurement, governance and project requirements.
