Beglin Woods Architects LimitedBeglin Woods Architects Limited
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”

The 8 acre site in Karen had an existing house
which was retained. The 12 new houses
are designed in a similar complimentary
style. There is a pool house and gym.
The site has a boundary on the Miotoni river
and some of the houses have gardens which
slope down tot the river. All trees on site have
been retained. This project is the second for
this client. The first at Miotoni West was a
smaller development of 9 units which were
sold to investors. This project continues
our work in developing low rise, low density
