DOWN to Earth Architects
Architects in Cape Town, Province of the Western Cape, South Africa
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 August 2016
“Building your dream home is an idealistic dream that is often tainted by a logistical nightmare riddled with red tape, rules and regulations. Bruce has the ability to declutter the mess and focus on the most important aspects of the build, your design and vision. He is incredibly talented, listens and applies your ideas by implementing creative solutions to generate an all round cohesive and beautiful design. I would (and have) recommended DTEA any day of the week!”

Jenny Mills Architecture and Interiors
Architects in Cape Town, Province of the Western Cape, South Africa
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 July 2022
“Our company has been fortunate to work with Jenny Mills Architects for a number of years in a specialist consulting role. I have found their team to be consistently professional, pleasant to work with and firmly committed to the interests of their clients. They are a creative team; their designs and styles are varied, rather than all projects conforming to a house style. I would recommend them without hesitation to property owners and developers in the market.”
7Storeys
Architects in Cape Town, Province of the Western Cape, South Africa
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 August 2017
“7Storeys Construction installed a new Rondo 490 fire place at my house. Initially we were in two minds whether we should install a fire place, because the chimney should go through the roof and we had past experience of water leaks at our previous house. However, we decided to go ahead after I was assured by the 7Storeys Construction team that there will be no leaks. The work was done professionally (a year ago) and we have no water leaks. I can really recommend 7Storeys Construction. Thanks to the team – I can really recommend the company for any alterations to your existing house/business. I am already liaising with them on further alterations to my house.”

A well-chosen architect can design a home that is specifically tailored to your family's lifestyle. Highly competent and professionally-trained designers, many architects in Cape Town, Province of the Western Cape, South Africa also use sustainable design principles to maximise the site and materials used, so your home uses less energy and saves you money in the long term.

If your renovation is more than a simple benchtop replacement or roof re-tiling job, then it may be time to find an architect in Cape Town, Province of the Western Cape, South Africa who can manage your project from start to finish. Depending on the architecture firm you hire, the scope can span from planning sustainable design into your renovations, to selecting furniture and even interior finishes.

How do I find the right architect for my home design project?


An architect is often the first person you hire for your project. Before taking steps to find an architect in Cape Town, Province of the Western Cape, South Africa, ask yourself what you want to achieve from your renovation or home construction. Do you want to improve the liveability and sustainability of your home, or simply expand? What style of architecture do you prefer? Once you have established your motivation, research architects that have completed similar house designs in your Cape Town locale and within a comparable budget to yours.

Undergoing renovations, house extensions or building a new home entirely can be stressful. For this reason, it’s important that you and your chosen architect get along and share the same values, especially if you require an architect to help you refine your brief. To establish this rapport, you may need to meet several times with the architects on your shortlist before making a final decision on who you hire. The relationship you have with your architect is very personal, and will involve discussions of your habits, hobbies and tastes, so you want to ensure you have picked someone you feel comfortable in sharing this information with.

Most importantly, you need to trust that your architect will manage your home improvement or house design within budget, while working with site constraints, and coordinating the relationships of all parties involved in the project.

Ideally, your Cape Town, Province of the Western Cape, South Africa architect will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. Your architect may be needed to select and hire Province of the Western Cape subcontractors (e.g. builders, engineers and landscape architects) just as they may need to negotiate contracts with stakeholders. A good client-architect relationship will ensure they are your biggest advocate along the way during construction.

Finally, remember that the most well-known or established architect may not provide the right architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project.
