DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

"Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness"   Frank Gehry

 

This statement together with a human-centred design focus forms the foundation of our designs at Urbis Architects.

 

The interaction between the end user and the design form takes high priority. With the diverse culture in South Africa, these interactions vary and allow for interesting spaces to develop. Light, views and volumes within these spaces help to shape the end result rather than a predetermined style.

 

As a result, our buildings are bespoke and relate positively to the client's requirements, topography and bio-climate while always striving to be timeless
