Studio

A small studio, by choice. What we believe, and how we work.

A small studio, by choice.

Plinth is led by three partners who each design and draw. We keep the team small so that the people you meet at the start are the people who finish the job.

We work mainly in Nairobi and across East Africa. We are as happy with a single-room renovation as with a small public building, provided the site and the client are serious.

Sample studio profile — replace with your own history, team and recognition. We do not invent awards or press.

01

Site first

Sun, wind, slope and neighbours before form.

02

Material honesty

Timber, concrete, stone and glass, left to be what they are.

03

Fewer, better

We limit the number of projects so drawings are never rushed.

04

Followed through

The people who design it visit the site, every stage.
