Our Story
Our story began in 1928 when Naranjan Singh Juttla, the grandfather of Narinder Juttla, the owner of Juttla Architects, embarked on a journey from Mumbai to Mombasa in search of work. During this voyage, Naranjan found himself in the company of HRH the Aga Khan and The Sultan of Zanzibar, forming life-changing friendships that would play a significant role in his future.
Naranjan's skills and determination led him to establish the largest family-owned construction firm in Kenya - Naranjan Singh Brothers. His younger brother, Alderman Mohan Juttla, became the first Asian Deputy Mayor of Nairobi, and together, they dined with Princess Elizabeth at the Treetops Hotel in Nairobi, marking Elizabeth's transition from Princess to Queen of England.
Projects undertaken by Naranjan Singh Brothers include the construction of two pairs of iconic elephant tusks on Moi Avenue in Mombasa and The Aga Khan Platinum Jubilee Hospital in Nairobi. Due to their increasing workload, Naranjan was granted a special permit from the government to invite 600 skilled workers from India to help on their projects.
The Juttla Legacy
Naranjan's son, Harbhajan, followed in his father's footsteps and under the guidance of Royal Engineer, Roy E. Griffiths, became a land surveyor. Harbhajan and Roy became lifelong friends and shared many stories from their days in the savannah, which inspired Roy's memoir novel 'Enchanted Safaris'. Harbhajan moved to London with his wife and four sons in 1967, setting the stage for the future of Juttla Architects.
Narinder Juttla, the current owner of Juttla Architects, pursued architecture as a career and worked in various practices, including the internationally renowned Swanke Hayden Connell Architects. In 2005, Narinder founded his own company, SCP Architects, which later evolved into Juttla Architects in 2015 to mark the 10-year anniversary of the firm and to fuel it with a fresh identity, reflecting the rich history of the company.
