Master Planning

Master Planning

Master planning is like drawing a big picture for a town or a neighborhood. It involves thinking about where buildings, roads, parks, and other things should go to make the area nice to live in and easy to get around. It's about making sure everything fits together well and works for the people who live there now and in the future.

Why do we specialise in Sustainable Design?
We focus on sustainable design because we care about the planet and the people who live on it. By leading our projects through sustainable practices, we help protect the environment and make sure everyone has a healthy and happy place to live and work. Sustainable design is our way of making a positive difference for both today and tomorrow.
ethos
The support of local stewardship allows for an increase in skilled workmanship in the industry. This is the basis of CC-Design. We strongly believe in locally sourced materials and services, and supporting local talent.  We therefore honor the local custodians of Kenya, recognizing their enduring bond with the land, traditions, and community.

Our tribute extends to the wisdom of Elders, past, present, and emerging, embodying humility, neighborly concern, and the strength of kinship ties.

TESTIMONIALS

     

 Roy's creativity, attention to detail and organizational skills will serve him well in his career. Having been through several architects at his (previous) firm, his presence is missed. I applaud Roy for furthering his career as it will truly set him apart in the local market.

 Roy is a meticulous, thorough, and empathetic trainer with a firm grasp on Sustainable design, building, impact, and measurement. A pioneer of contextual sustainable architecture and building in Africa, he brings client-focused value experience that proved invaluable to us at Pit to Palace. Roy led several modules in our capacity building engagements with mid-sized SMEs in Africa navigating their sustainable transitions. As a trainer, he connected well with his groups and expertly drew out conversations about challenges faced. For us (his clients), Roy delighted with transparency, communication, flexibility, and dedication. His customer service is top notch. He has in me & Pit to Palace a repeat customer.
