One Padmore Place is a 15 storied commercial and office tower, with fully serviced office wings and 4 no. basement levels, which combined with surface parking provides parking for 452 cars. Classified as a Grade A building, the building was designed to provide maximum possible spatial utility, good parking ratio and aesthetic appeal to ensure the client, JKUAT Staff Retirement Benefits Scheme, received a good return on investment for its members
The building design adopted various sustainable environment strategies such as provision of an atrium for stack effect ventilation, location of core on the western façade to buffer the building from the western afternoon sun and further buffer against wind loads, orienting the building’s main linear axis parallel to the solar path, with full-height glazing facing the Northern and Southern axes to enhance quality of user space. Locally available materials with low maintenance requirements were incorporated in the building design to ensure maintenance is affordable over the building’s life cycle
