:NHAB:T Architects Studio

A chartered practice of award-winning architects, with over 25 years experience in bespoke design responses to clients briefs of varied scale ranging masterplanning and urban design, to collective dwelling projects, and residential homes, with a view to providing an holistic view to architecture and the impact of the design on day-to-day lives. Through the process of any project, we engage fully to ensure that, what can be a stressful daunting undertaking, is kept calm and enjoyable. Sustainability has been high on our agenda since before it was popular phrase, and we look to offer information on integration of these features to help reduce footprint and costs. :NHAB:T 2012 - 2024 ... 12 years ago we wanted to start an architecture practice that would embrace a thinker - doer approach of 'research in order to implement' - looking to understand before doing, and looking to understand in order to do! Three leap years later and the vision is just as strong with new research projects on the table and a passion for design that has positive impact. Over the next 12 weeks we will post nostalgic imagery of implemented designs and projects to keep the focus fresh and the fires stoked! The overarching thinker-doer mindset continues focus on bringing positive change through architecture and design, whether contributing to policy to implement change through legislation or seeking to bring people in South Africa out of poverty through architecture and implementing research. It also leads the thinking on pro-bono community design projects of all sizes such as larger urban designs to foster connectivity and a school masterplan for future development; or smaller projects like a bus stop to offer shelter and lit linked pathways making life safer for citizens. This approach has also added depth of understanding during the design process of clients' homes, and we've loved seeing how it has brought significant positive change to peoples' lives.
