About

We equip the studios of East Africa.

MT Architectural Supplies was born from a simple observation: architecture students across the region were struggling to find the specialist tools their work demands. We set out to change that.

Our story

A supplier built by architects, for architects.

Founded a decade ago, MT Architectural Supplies began as a small studio-supply service for a handful of Ugandan universities. We noticed that architecture and design students were making long trips — or accepting compromises — to get the precision instruments, drawing pens and model-making materials they actually needed.

Today, we work directly with faculty, procurement offices and studio classes across Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda. Every product we carry is selected with one question in mind: would a working architect trust this?

Our team ships to campuses, professional practices and independent designers — and we're always a WhatsApp message away for advice, custom bundles and bulk institutional orders.
