We strive to create architecture that feels settled in its context, drawing inspiration from South Africa’s awe-invoking Natural Environments, her History, and her People.

Our aim is to design spaces that resonate with a sense of place through the considered use of materials, craftsmanship, and the dialogue between indoor and out. Often, the space left untouched is more important than the space occupied. Honest simplicity harmonising the site, its occupants and the Earth is what makes magic happen.

Embracing a minimalist philosophy, we work with what’s cherished and let go of all that’s not.

Consuming fewer resources and less space, we tread more lightly on the Earth. Letting go of the unnecessary provides time and energy for the things that are important and loved, and allows for something new to emerge.

Embedded in this letting go are values of humbleness, honesty and humility - that there is such a thing as enough - all of which are important ethical principles that take work and courage.

These principles are often sorely missing in our modern world of consumption which mostly measures happiness and success by what a person can buy.

As cities and life get more frenetic, we need to remember our connection to the Earth, to landscape-time, to the rising and setting sun.

Our designs strive to bridge the gap between Earthly ancestry and modern life.

With an interest in City Planning and Urban Design, we are cognisant of the impact structures have on our quality of life, both immediately and long-term, and consciously reflect on how lifestyles and buildings affect the natural world.

These reflections help create designs that are Mindful, Conscious, Playful, Smart, Honest, often Inside-Out, and with Personal Touches.
