THE PRACTICE

Beglin Woods is a leading architectural and design practice with a broad portfolio of work around East Africa generated by its offices in Nairobi.

David Beglin and Simon Woods have an office of over 20 architectural, technical and administrative staff. Both partners act as principal designers, and are closely involved in the design development of all their Projects. The buildings are often complex and sophisticated in function, but are built from a simple range of carefully selected quality and maintenance free materials.

Beglin Woods have developed an aesthetic and functional architectural style over the years in practice in East Africa and have gained experience in most sectors of the economy including Tourism, Commerce, Industry, Health Care, Research and Education. We aim to develop building designs quickly but carefully, to allow the maximum time possible for detailed design development. Our clients are encouraged to become involved in the design process from the start, as their detailed input is essential in the evolution of the building design. The production team works extremely quickly once a concept is agreed, and can often produce tender documents on large projects within weeks of appointment. We are however extremely flexible at all stages of the project, and ensure that all our clients needs are full incorporated. Our computer model generating facilities are greatly valued by our clients who are keen to participate in a three dimensional concepts as well as photo realistic images of their projects at a very early stage. It also allows us to offer extremely short pre-contract design time,

and sophisticated post-contract financial monitoring and project management. Each project, however small, is designed, detailed and built to the highest possible standards. The best designed and constructed buildings will always be readily in the market more than other less well-designed buildings. All our buildings are designed to be aesthetically pleasing, enjoyable to use, economical and capable of adaptation and extension. Some of our buildings are nearly 14 years old, and demonstrate the benefits to our clients in getting it right the first time! The economics of building in a developing country creates an extremely tight market, because of rapidly fluctuating building and finance costs. Prices per unit area can vary greatly from region and the choice of building materials, structural systems and finishes

the final budget. We instruct our consultants and quantity surveyors to maintain a strict eye on the project budget during both pre-contract and post-contract design stages. The design team pays particular attention to the economies of construction at both design and contract drawing stages. During construction, variations and fluctuations are carefully monitored and client approval is sought before contract sums are increased. Financial appraisals, including reviews of originally projected income figures, are carried out at regular intervals during construction, and finances are adjusted accordingly. Teams of consultants are carefully selected, based on their project. Working carefully with the client and the consultants, suitable structural, finishing and services, systems are selected for each immediate suitability to undertake

a certain item, as we are always testing the availability and economy of materials and services within the market place. Project correspondence and documentation are aimed at giving our clients highly Professional service, which records and documents every single contract matter in clear legal contract terminology. Great care is always taken to understand building contracts carefully in every detail and all contractual correspondence is kept up to date on a on a daily basis. We believe we are one of the most professional Architectural firms in East Africa and are constantly striving to produce quality buildings on time and on budget.

“We love our work, and always aim to give all our clients a first class service and quality buildings that are value for money”

COMPLETED PROJECTS

The new office building is located in Gigiri opposite the Tribe Hotel and the Village Market shopping centre.

The building sits comfortably on this site which slopes steeply to the river. It takes advantage of this slope to house the four basements on split levels following the slope gradient and we have achieved naturally lit basements.

The lettable space rises six floors housing a series of cascading terraces that resonate with the surrounding landscape. This project provides a glimpse of what is possible in the changing Gigiri area, which is slowly transforming from established older residential buildings to larger and more contemporary commercial and buildings such as the Gigiri offices.

New office wings

The United Nations compound is a beauti-ful “green lung” on the outskirts of Kenya’s capital city. More than 600 indigenous tree species are found there as well as many species of birds and small mammals. Al-ready rainwater is harvested, waste wa-ter recycled and wetlands maintained. All buildings are cooled by natural ventilation and office waste is separated and recycled.

The UN new building takes environmental sustainability to a new level. Four buildings linked by airy walkways, flooded with natural light and with green areas individually land-scaped and theme, can accommodate 1200 staff. Solar panels cover the roof space, auto-mated low energy lighting illuminates work-spaces and energy efficient computers sit on desks. Rainwater is collected from the roofs to feed the fountains and ponds at the four entrances and sewage is treated in a state-of-the-art aeration system and recycled to ir-rigate the beautifully landscaped compound.

New headquarters and residential complex

The headquarters is a working village designed as a group of individual working units in which several departments are located. These units are clustered around a central courtyard, an arrangement which encourages a high instance of spontaneous meetings between staff members and an environment of tranquillity and elegance and which reflects in many ways some of the philosophical and ideological convictions of the developer.

The extensive use of water and landscaping ensures that the single storey buildings will soon be given excellent sun-shading from deep roof overhangs further enhanced by trees and plants.

A great amount of time exploring materials, finishes, patterns, sculptures, works of art and carvings ensure that each of the buildings can be given specific interior design treatment reflecting certain areas of African culture.

Client: Imperial BankTeam: Beglin Woods ArchitectsArea: 4000 sqmValue: $11.5 millionStatus: Completed 2000

This project is one of several bank projects being undertaken by fast moving local banks which are rapidly expanding and challenging the larger, established banks. The projects are usually small and owner built which allows a very high degree of innovation.

The popularity of these banks offer a strong challenge to the way banks are being built and designed and much of the strength is due to the client’s continuing requirement for innovation and fresh interior and exterior concepts.

The building takes on Islamic and local Swahili influences, at the same time staying true its own design concept.

The grand interior carries on into the interior of the building which is efficient, luxurious and a place which helps customers relax and trust their surroundings.

New office building and banking hall

COMPLETED PROJECTS

Imperial Bank is a rapidly expanding local bank whose headquarters building is shown here. Due to shape and size, the quarter acre site was previously considered inviable by the market. The site presented a real challenge to Beglin Woods to fit the required accommodation in a multi- level design.

Despite the challenging site the project brief was to contain 3 floors of an administrative office, a banking hall and up to 50 car park spaces for customers and bank executives. In order to do this, the building hovers over an area intended for car parking, and allows access by ascending into the building.

Interiors are granite tiled with full height glass partitions which allows light to pass through the building into an internal atrium containing the main banking hall. The architects were responsible for all interiors, furniture and fittings.

PROJECT PROPOSAL

The Bank development is set on a prestigious corner plot in central Kinshasa. The site is quite tight at only slightly more than half an acre, and the design has been based on a formal parking grid in order to maximise the parking available at both basement and ground level.A six-meter parking grid has been established, which provides the main structure with an economical structural grid to support the eight floors above ground level. The building has been designed on the basis of an oval, which is also shaped vertically to create an organic shape that works extremely well on a corner plot building. The outstanding shape and design will become an iconic landmark in Kinshasa and will become a wonderful advert for the Bank.

Chaka PLace Beglin Woods Architects 8100 sqm $6 million Proposal

PROJECT PROPOSAL

Beglin Woods were commissioned to design a office block on an extremely tight site with hard rock at 1.5 m below soil levels.

The challenge was to ensure that the large area of executive offices had sufficient parking despite the soil conditions. A decision was therefore made to design the offices above the three storey ground parking silo.

The building will have a ground floor banking floor and a 1st storey pedestrian connection with existing office building on site.

Another challenge was to disguise the above ground parking levels without great expense to the client. This was done by introduction of concrete screens which are angled to also act as a sun shade for the cars.
