Slow looking
Every project starts with listening and looking — before a single line is drawn.
The Studio
A practice built on listening, looking, and the slow craft of architecture.
Our Story
I started Outwright as a small, deliberate practice — a place where architecture, interiors and research could sit beside one another and shape each project from the first sketch to the last detail.
Our work spans private homes, hospitality, civic and research-led projects. What binds it together is one conviction: good buildings begin with careful questions and end in careful making.
Philosophy
We design slowly and build with intent. Material, light and proportion are not finishing touches — they are the substance of the work.
Founder Profile
I’m Allan Metto, the architectural designer behind Outwright. My focus is context-driven work — homes, commercial, institutional and hospitality projects across Kenya, each designed around the place it sits in.
I stay close to every project: listening first, then carrying the technical side, so a brief can move from early feasibility and concept through documentation, consultant alignment and delivery without losing its intent.
The Team
Outwright is Allan plus a small team of designers, researchers and project architects — expanding as a project needs, never bigger than the work requires.
How We Work
Models over renders
We build an idea physically to test it, before we polish it on a screen.
Detail is the design
Execution and detailing carry as much weight as the concept itself.
Rooted in place
Climate, culture and craft set the brief — not the other way around.
