David Beglin has worked as an Architect in Kenya and East Africa since 1974.

​

 

He qualified in 1972 with a degree in architecture from University College Dublin and worked as an architect in London during 1972 - 1974.

​

He has held senior positions in some of the most prominent architectural firms in Kenya before forming his own practice in 1988.

​

In 1991 the practice merged with the practice of Simon Woods Architects to form Beglin Woods Architects & Interior Designers. The practice has grown and expanded rapidly and is now one of the most prominent practices in East Africa.

​

Simon Woods has worked as an Architect in Nigeria and East Africa since 1977. He qualified in 1976 with a degree in architecture from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. He worked in Nigeria for 1 year working for a construction company, and then moved to Kenya to take up a position with Richard Hughes & Partners. He formed his own practice in 1980, and worked on a variety of major projects throughout the 80's.

​

In 1991 Simon Woods Architects merged with David Beglin Architect to form Beglin Woods Architects. Over the last 24 years, Beglin Woods Architects have been Architects and Interior Designers for a wide variety of major residential, commercial, industrial and tourism projects.

​

Katherine Mung’au joined BeglinWoods in 2003, and has grown swiftly from starting off as an architectural assistant into becoming a key Director in the practice. She now runs major projects in the Office, and plays a very important role.

​

She was selected last year as being in the top 40 under 40’s in Kenya, an impressive achievement.
