George, RSA
New Build
This project consists of 78 exclusive apartments designed to blend luxury with convenience. The project presented several challenges related to site restraints, cashflow, consultant coordination and market fit. By carefully interrogating each element of our design and building an accurate bill step by step, we were able to value engineer a project that maximises profitability while maintaining market competitivity and design integrity.

This project repurposed a previously neglected beachfront property into a distinctive 7-bedroom boutique hotel, marking an adaptive reuse success on South Africa’s east coast.
Faced with structural constraints and budget considerations, our approach focused on transforming existing limitations into unique features. By carefully balancing the original building’s potential with innovative design solutions, we achieved a cost-effective yet market-aligned transformation.

Adaptive Re-use
This project involved the transformation of an old house with expansive gardens in Bryanston, Johannesburg, into a cutting-edge space for a consulting and incubation firm in the Tech Industry. Tasked with creating an optimal business environment, our design combines dark aluminium cladding, architectural mesh, and raw concrete to reflect the client’s strong business approach. The redesigned façade maximises daylight while mitigating harsh light, promoting energy and rhythm suited to our client’s vibrant company dynamic.
