Project 2.1: Forest Faeries
Two families on a journey to create new homes in the Garden Route. Armed with half a lifetime of experience and friendship, a like-minded approach and a concise symmetrical budget. An authentic approach to a new place and self.
Site subdivided. Houses semi-attached. Cars in garages at street level. The homes drop down the dune facing north and aligned to the contours. Living areas have large glass sliding doors to letting in natural light, celebrating the panoramic view of lake, vlei and mountain edged horizons. The facade opens to the temperate climate, bird twitter and human activity.

I am a straight talking architect with an entrepreneurial spirit. I like to generate ideas and design architecture that is a pleasure to use, great to look at, and a positive addition to the place as a whole. I always aim for my design projects to be authentic and inspiring!
I have a hands-on solutions based approach to design, working with clients, design colleagues and contractors.
I am keen to help with the architectural design and realisation of your next building project in and around the Garden Route, the Southern Cape and surrounding Karoo landscape.
In my career spanning three decades I have plenty of experience on building projects in South Africa and other African countries, resulting in a wide range of expertise and many T shirts to show for it. In this time I have also honed some nifty skill in architectural design, collective design process, green building systems, construction methods, property development planning.
