The US Embassy in Kampala, Uganda required Architectural and engineering services for improving/ upgrading the original lighting system fixtures to from electronic ballast to direct wire Light –Emitting Diode (LED) fixture systems with no ballasts. The Consultants required to provide all the necessary labor, equipment, and materials as well as engineering and technical services to support this procurement including but not limited to evaluation of the existing site to meet the requirements of installation. The requirement involved design and construction / installation supervision services from the consultants.

The solution was accomplished in manner which conforms to the intent of all applicable International Building Codes (IBC), National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), National Electrical Code (NEC), United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), and Department of State (DoS) policies.

The simplicity form of the office block derives from structural and environmental conditions. Situated on the visual axis when looking down the Kampala – Gaba road, the 2-storey-high A-frame gives the building its stability, while creating a generous marker to the building’s entrance.

The social focus is deliberately on the active ground level, with a soaring volume at the top forming one of the most extraordinary office spaces in the city.
