LP Architects

LP Architects was established over 35 years ago. The practice is experienced in the designing of shopping centres, office blocks, industrial buildings, hospitals and boutique hotels. In recent years the practice has specifically focused on shopping centres through specialising in the redevelopment of existing shopping centres and the development of new shopping centres. LP Architects realise that the extensive experience we have in the designing of new shopping centres is key to understanding the problems with existing centres. We are renowned for being in a position to redevelop existing retail environments into viable centres through revitalisation. LPA recently changed from a partnership to a company with offices in both Johannesburg and Pretoria and is led by Mick Passoni as Managing Director along with three other directors – Neels Fourie, Abey Mamaregane & Lomien Botha. LP Architects furthermore has developed the skill of understanding the retailer and their business in depth along with attention to the retail customer. All shopping centres are designed and developed with special focus and attention to these primary issues. LPA has vast experience and fresh ideas within the practice to deliver design excellence within retail environments and other commercial buildings. The directors are complemented by highly skilled individuals with unique design, technical and project management skills. The practice is divided into four production departments, namely, Design, Documentation, Site Supervision and Tenant Co-ordination.
