They design and build projects in South Africa and internationally. They have been in practice since 1945, and although they are one of the oldest architecture firms in continuous practice in the country, they have a young and dynamic team able to consistently produce fine architecture; always maintaining design integrity and quality in process and product. They are a medium-sized firm of around 60 people. In maintaining a workforce of this size they balance the agility of a small studio with the resources of a larger firm, resulting in each building receiving the utmost consideration from concept to implementation. Their deep love of architecture and place-making drives their aim to maintain the highest levels of design innovation through the creation of exciting yet timeless buildings which graciously hold their own in the built environment. i Click images to enlarge
