A pause in a building built on movement.
Saffron & Sage, now open at Purple Tower, Mombasa Road.
The tower sits on one of Nairobi’s busiest corridors, between the C*D, Upper Hill, Industrial Area and JKIA. Offices, retail, conferencing and hospitality all pass through its circulation. We wanted the café to read as part of that flow, not apart from it.
A glazed frontage keeps it visible from the walkway. A timber-lined façade brings warmth against the larger commercial envelope. Inside, timber, planting and soft light slow things down.
Designed to belong to its place, while remaining distinctly Saffron & Sage.
