MISSION
The company's mission statement is to become a professional and empowered success, committed and striving to move with the times by continuously adapting to contemporary methods of design, technology, and the diverse nature of the building industry, leading to the development of its own brand - KNA.

Our mission is to provide clients with effective services for all types of buildings from inception to completion.
COMPANY DESIGN AND PHILOSOPHY
Kondjeni Nkandi Architect Inc's design philosophy is to create architecture that not only reflects the current times and culture but also shapes the future of the Namibian context and beyond our borders.
We believe that the most successful approach is crafted through innovative thinking and collaborative processes with clients, and that begins with a holistic approach of trying to solve some of the social and economic problems in the Namibian context through architecture.
Through architecture, we are trying to provide clear measurable values to clients in every sector by recognizing that every project demands a unique, tailored response.
Our team believes that a building is the formulation and expression of the surrounding community, nature, and environment. It needs to tell a story its own tale - and enhance sustainability, but never overpower its purpose or that of the people that occupy it. A building is the autobiography of an architect, but the architect has to nurture the subconscious surroundings within it.
