The Austrian Embassy has moved into its newly built offices in Nairobi, on 536 Limuru Road, Muthaiga. The office block, planned jointly by South African and Kenyan architects, combines traditional African themes with Western-style elements and modern technical equipment. The new embassy has been built on a site that has long been in Austrian use. The embassy will save on rental costs in the long term as it guarantees security within its compound.
