About the Bolt Project

The Bolt Project represents a paradigm shift in commercial workspace design in Nairobi. Our challenge was to transform a traditional office space into a vibrant, future-ready environment that would inspire innovation and foster collaboration among tech professionals.

"This space has completely transformed how our teams interact and innovate. The design has boosted productivity by 40% and employee satisfaction scores are at an all-time high."

- Tech Company CEO

We focused on creating zones that cater to different work styles - from quiet focus pods to dynamic collaboration areas. The integration of biophilic design principles brings nature indoors, with living walls, abundant natural light, and organic materials that create a calming yet energizing atmosphere.

The material palette combines locally-sourced sustainable woods with sleek metals and textured fabrics, creating a balance between warmth and technological sophistication. Smart lighting systems adjust throughout the day to support circadian rhythms, while advanced acoustic solutions ensure that the open-plan environment remains conducive to concentration.
