about

I specialise in residential architecture, both new and alterations and additions, and in architectural presentation.  I am passionate about making people’s spaces work for them.  My lines and forms are simple, with an emphasis on axes, symmetry and geometry.

My focus is on light and spaciousness, nature and its elements, in an attempt to bring architecture and nature into a unified whole.

experience

With over 25 years of experience as a professional architect, I have worked all over South Africa as well as in neighbouring countries. Designs include residential, commercial, retail, educational and sports facilities. I have worked on alterations to many Heritage homes in Johannesburg. I regularly attend events for continued professional development as required by SACAP in order to keep up to date with all new developments in the fields of both building and architecture.

artist impressions

I do hand drawn 3D artists impressions for personal clients, and on request for other architects and developers. These are perfect for marketing in the residential, commercial and retail industries as well as being useful visual aids for clients at an early design stage. My artist impressions are full of life and soul and are personal works of art.

testimonials

  • “Selecting to work with Debby as our architect has, without a doubt, been the best decision we made in terms of our building project. She took great care in listening to our wishes and dreams, and successfully managed to incorporate them all into the design of our new home.”

    Mike and Jenny

  • “The flow of air and light throughout the day in all the rooms is perfect! Thanks again for the lovely heart-warming spaces all around. The garden has grown so much – just amazing with the house allowing us to feel part of it! You are so good at what you do – we are over the moon!”

    Sonja

  • “The flow and feel of the house is awesome. We really love what we have and we know that we would never have had the finished product without her architectural flair, creative input and insistence on specific aspects.”

  • “Debby, Thank you so much for your invaluable help with Council and for everything you have done for us on this renovation. We couldn’t have asked for more.”
