architecture + design consultancy

Life of Architecture is an architectural practice that takes an interest in people, their stories and in collaboratively shaping the spaces we live and work in. We believe everyone deserves access to the benefits of good design and better daily environments. With a complimentary skillset, and a foundation of Architectural education that includes a variety of design disciplines, Life of Architecture offers an approach to problem solving through creativity that moves past simple form, function or space. We incorporate both rational and abstract processes in understanding complexity and offering effective solutions to client's problems. Both our practice and practitioners are registered with The South African Council for the Architectural Profession (SACAP)
