Rwenzori Courts
KAMPALA, UGANDA
Rwenzori Courts is a high quality office and commercial building set around a dramatic,
internal courtyard enclosed by a translucent, tensile canopy roof. The appearance is
modern and dignified with a superior standard of finishes and decoration throughout.
The design incorporates several passive features which maximise the benefits of natural
cross-ventilation.
The building comprises four upper levels of office accommodation, a ground floor of
complementary commercial/retail space, and underground parking. The full height
courtyard feature creates a most efficient floor plan which enables easy and highly flexible
subdivision of the space to suit tenants' specific requirements.
Offices are 12 metres deep to maintain cross-ventilation, and with 3.3 metres clear floor
to ceiling height the effect is light and airy. In addition, external solar shading protects
the building against excess heat gain. At the fourth floor level, a balcony offers excellent
views across Kampala.
The development offers a total 5,756 square metres of lettable area, including 967
square metres at ground floor level. Each upper floor of approximately 1,250 square
metres provides for up to nine separate tenancies of around 100-150 square metres
each.
Construction of the project commenced in July 1998 and was completed in January
2000.
