Abstract Architecture

Nairobi, Kenya

KATANAZI CONTAINER cOMPLEX

01 / 07/  2024

This project explores the innovative design of a container-based commercial center on a 1/2-acre plot, accommodating a mix of retail spaces, a restaurant, and a co-working hub across two levels.

 

The central structure is elevated, optimizing the site by providing parking beneath while integrating landscaped green islands to enhance both functionality and environmental connectivity.

​

The architectural language is defined by a material palette of insulated black GCI sheets and wood plank cladding, which together establish a contemporary, industrial aesthetic.

 

A dynamic interplay of transparent and opaque panels along the circulation routes allows for controlled natural light penetration, creating a well-lit and engaging spatial experience.
