Diversity Creates Innovation

Our practise was founded by a core group of architects. Since then we have grown to a team of 20 with offices in Cape Town and Durban, serving clients both locally and nationally. At Design Scape, we take great pride in our diverse team. By bringing together various cultural influences, educational backgrounds, and personal histories, we have created a stimulating environment that allows for open discussion and exploration of innovative ideas and solutions.

How We Help You

Architecture is a complex process often involving a wide range of ideas and inputs from many different stakeholders. Developing solutions that create common ground is as much an art as it is a science. At Design Scape, one thread connects art and science — our clear and proven process. With our experience and expertise, we have designed a process to take you from a simple idea, want, or need, to a fully-functioning building.
