Director – Green & Sustainable Building

Brian Onenchan

Brian Onenchan is a seasoned Architectural and Building Technologist with a strong passion for environmentally responsible design and construction. He plays a key leadership role in advancing sustainable, cost-effective, and high-quality building solutions.

With over 6 years of experience at the intersection of architecture and sustainability, he specialises in green building, inclusive urbanisation and regenerative systems. Leveraging a foundational background in architecture, he has developed a multi-disciplinary expertise spanning sustainable construction supply chains, affordable housing and human-centred design.

He is recognised for a hands-on approach to climate resilience, particularly across the Central and West Nile regions of Uganda. A defining highlight of his work includes pioneering projects in Pakwach, where locally sourced, naturally occurring materials were used to deliver high-performance buildings with significantly reduced carbon footprints.

As an impact-driven entrepreneur and skilled proposal writer, he bridges the gap between technically rigorous sustainable design and the strategic funding required to empower hard-to-reach communities.
