Silk meets savannah.
Named for two things we hold together on your project: the land your building sits on, and the rooms you live in. The office is in Westlands. We work with you in Kenya, and further afield when you ask.
Who we are
From the first question about your land to the last detail in your room.
We stay with your project from the first walk on the land until your house is ready to live in. House owners, hoteliers and landowners come to us because they want one practice to carry the work, rather than a string of separate firms.
Savannah is your ground: earth, stone, timber and the plot itself. Silk is the finish: joinery, light, and rooms that feel calm. That is the whole of it, done with care.

Our approach
What we hold to on your site.
Your land first
How your house sits, where the shade falls, and how you arrive are settled before the plan is locked. The acacia, the slope and the light are part of your brief.
Materials that last
Stone, earth, timber and fibre chosen for how they age in your climate, worked by masons and joiners we have known for years.
Quiet rooms
Less decoration, better joints. A room in your house should still feel right twenty years from now.
One conversation
You speak with us. We hold the consultants, the site and the cost so your project does not scatter across a dozen inboxes.
Your project, start to finish
We bring your house, renovation, interiors, hotel or camp through from brief to handover, so you work with one practice rather than a string of separate firms.
Development we take on
We also find and shape land ourselves: feasibility, design, finance, construction and sale, carrying the same care from the first visit to the last room.
Organisation
Six disciplines, one conversation.
Development
Land, feasibility and concept
We study your plot and the opportunity before drawings begin.
Design
Architecture and coordination
We keep your brief, the landscape and the consultants together.
Project Management
Programme, cost and contract
You have one place to come for the calendar, the money and the decisions.
Construction
Site, quality and handover
We stay with your build until the keys are in your hand.
Interiors
Joinery, furnishings and finish
Your rooms are designed with the structure, and furnished with care.
Property Management
After handover
We can remain to look after your house as it was meant to be lived in.
