Understanding how much space is really needed, how to get the most out of space and how all the spaces works together synchronistically are an art form in themselves. If you want to re-design an existing space or are looking for a new space, you’ll be asking similar questions: What space works best for us? We partner with you through every part of the process from inception to completion, guided by budget, yield and feasibility. Step 1: We listen In your first meeting with Mark Gouws Architects, you’ll do most of the talking. We want to know what you want your space to look and feel like, but more importantly, what you want your space to do for you. Then, we discuss a basic budget and how we can incorporate your needs and wants into this. Step 2: We design We do our homework with your architectural and design needs. From here, we need to transform those wants and needs into an architectural masterpiece that flows in synchronicity with you, and in line with your budget. Step 3: We finalise the design and draw up the plans so that it can be built. We’ll design a space that allows everyone to be happier, more comfortable and productive. There is continuous communication between us, you and the contractor to ensure it is done flawlessly and within budget. We also take care of technicalities such as permits and approvals for your space design solution, so that you don’t have to. Step 5: You move in You can now see that an innovative concept is about much more than just drawing pretty pictures. Beautiful buildings inspire people, and inspired people are happier and more productive. It’s about the integration of architecture, personal feeling, ecology and technology.
