PLANNING is a leading Architectural firm in the Eastern African Region with a Humane, Design focused approach towards Architecture & the Built Environment.
WORKING WITH THE LANDSCAPE
Retained indigenous trees provide shade and soften the building-landscape relationship—sustainability through preservation, not removal.
Sustainability is not a product you buy.
It is a series of decisions made before the building takes shape:
SHADE & FILTERED LIGHT
Perforated screens moderate sunlight while enabling light and airflow.
Beyond appearance, façades engage climate.
OPEN COURTYARDS
The courtyards introduce open space into the building's plan, creating shaded outdoor areas and supporting the movement of air through the development.
Open space creates building-environment interaction through design strategy.
At Jubilee HQ, green space is more than looks; it’s daily life. With @TufahaAfrica, we created lush courtyards, a sensory herb garden, and a secret orchard with guavas, lemons & oranges—inviting calm, connection, and freedom to roam. #WorkplaceWellbeing#GreenDesign#LiveFree
At its heart, living free means choice, connection & creativity without limits. Jubilee Insurance lives this—and needed a HQ that reflected it. We at PLANNING were honoured to design a space that did more than house people—it expressed their ethos.
We’re reimagining a long-standing Riverside structure into a vibrant commercial hub, where nostalgia meets modern life. This adaptive reuse project honours the original building’s character while introducing thoughtful upgrades fit for today’s urban rhythm

Whether it's a simple floor plan or an eclectic facade, we aim to bring their dreams to life. We want their homes to reflect their essence, whether that means being closer to nature or having minimalist, modern designs. The space is theirs to enjoy and explore as they see fit.
The homes we build and design are tailored to our client's preferences and designed to fulfill the unique features of each project. For PLANNING, home projects are a form of self-expression, allowing clients to be themselves indefinably. #TailoredDesign
