ARCHPLAN

ABOUT US

We are a dynamic young architectural practice specializing in designing tailor made live-in residential architecture to suite every client's lifestyle and legacy.

 

Our practice specializes in precise and creative buildings. We promote responsive design that acknowledges the impact of finite resources as a positive contributor in the creation of a practical architecture that compels, informs and guides our choices and recommendations during project development, programming, product selection, detailing and specification of materials. Our approach is to create an architecture that is uplifting to its users and in harmony with its context and natural surroundings.

The attention to all elements of design has been a constant in our firm’s philosophy.

 

We beleive that architecture has a roll to play in our environment and through practical ideas we can create architecture that is well adapted to it's users.

Our projects are grounded in understanding the end user’s needs and experiences so that they are meaningful and continue to be relevant over time.

Working closely with clients, builders, individual contractors and industry professionals to ensure that the envisaged project expresses the client it was built for.

Our designs are not over-stated, yet strong creating a response that is appropriate to good architecture, practical design and technology.

 

We are a full service architecture and design firm known for practical intellect in the design and detail process of every project. Our work is rooted in all the virtues of architecture with generous space making and our meticulous attention to detail. We believe that great architecture should deepen our everyday experience at the same time that it elevates our awareness of a larger, changing world.
