Car and General
NAIROBI, KENYA

Car and General commissioned Triad Architects in March 1997 to prepare designs for the relocation from their existing offices and showrooms to a new site in Nairobi’s Industrial Area. The brief called for the conversion of an existing multi-storey warehouse building into offices, the demolition of an old tyre factory and construction of a new showroom for their Trading Division.

The project was carried out to a tight programme, the existing premises having been let on a long lease commencing the end of November. The site for the new project was not available until June. Triad designed and tendered the project against a tight programme and managed the construction contracts, and the project was completed on schedule.

The services provided by Triad included not only the overall design of the project but also the interior design of the offices and the showroom. The spectacular arched roof of the building provides a light and airy retail space, and an exciting new building, which received a Gold Award in the Architectural Association of Kenya Millenium Awards.
