Our story

OUR ARCHITECTURAL STUDIO is based in Cape Town, South Africa.

We love to work with clients who share our passion for good design.

Creating architecture is about providing meaningful and inspirational spaces for people to conduct everyday activities. Whether you are a client or end user, we design with you in mind.

We love what we do and understanding your needs at early stages of a project is an integral part of our process to ensure a good experience for everyone.

In Architecture, you are only as good as your last job, and creating a successful project for you is our priority.

Our Approach

Our practice follows a solution driven and process orientated approach to creating architecture that interacts with it’s environment and contribute to positive principles of place making.

Getting a clear understanding of your aspirations for the project, site development rights, cultural landscape and project requirements drives our design process from early stages to limit costly redesigns at later stages of the project.

Architecture can happen anywhere, at any scale, and for everyone. By being open minded and flexible, we identify design opportunities to take projects beyond expectations.

We utilize building information modeling (BIM) as part of our workflow. This allows us to be flexible and integrate our work faster with the work of other professionals, and allows our small team to do big things.

THINK CRITICALLY

We value craftsmanship and doing things well is in our DNA.

In a world where the timing of decisions are essential, we structure decision roll out to make fast initial progress on big decisions, leaving more time to refine work during the detail design stage to obtain the best outcome.
