The British High Commission, Nairobi (Upper Hill Road) is a new chancery/office compound delivered in the mid-1990s (occupation programmed for summer 1995), with an outturn construction cost reported at c. £5.3m.
Designed by Cullum and Nightingale (now Kilburn Nightingale), the scheme uses three-storey office wings stepped along the site contours and separated by a central arcade framing long views across Nairobi, with passive environmental strategies and local materials suited to the climate. We supported later-stage delivery alongside the Nairobi-based executive architects Hughes & Polkinghorne (working drawings and site supervision) and the wider consultant team.
