Housing complex for ex-pats
A housing project built in an African city for ex-patriot contract workers. The housing project was designed with many overlapping spaces where people could meet and get to know their neighbors to counter the lonely existence of a contract worker.
Making the most of a beautiful view
Our wonderful valley has the most incredible vistas, which many of the homes here do not make the most of. In this renovation project the main living space was transformed to capitalize on a spectacular view and make the space more functional and beautiful.
Optimizing extra space
The brief was to create a practical garage / storage space as well as a compact loft apartment. When adding new area to your home, a loft space can be a very efficient way to add the value of an additional bedroom / a work space.
Intunja House
A new house three bedroom house in Cathkin Estate, designed to maximize the incredible views. The house is a contemporary alternative to the traditional look in the estate
Farm House Addition
Adding new spaces to older buildings can be tricky, but this addition to an old style farm house in the Champagne valley is a great example of how adding the value of extra space doesn't necessarily mean detracting from the beautiful character of an existing building.
