PHILOSOPHY
The quest for complete originality is a cornerstone of our company. We seek to bring into the world concepts which have never been thought of before. It is our belief however, that originality does not exist in a vacuum, but rather comes from standing on the shoulders of giants. We investigate what has gone before and introduce creative flare to push the boundaries and take architecture to a beautiful place for future generations.

INSPIRED BY NATURE
We are most inspired by nature. Architecture revolves around creating objects that have a usable purpose and are at the same time beautiful to the eye. Where is this marriage better exemplified than in nature itself? Nature is the work of the greatest designer, and this is our magnificent inspiration that calls for organic motifs and genetic-type recombinations. The connection extends all the way from aethetics, to efficient design and through to conservation mindedness.More Luxury Homes by the Architect >

DESIGN APPROACH
A leader learns as he goes along. Years in practice have testified to the fact that true understanding comes from a humble and open approach to learning. By taking a new problem and seeking to understand through investigation, lateral thinking and courageous steps to break the mould, effective and elegant solutions are achieved. It is understanding that is the wellspring of success. Original ideas are not created in a vacuum, but through extensive precedent study and reference to context. Beverley Hui has a special love for the heritage buildings dotted around the Western Cape, that are in the endemic Cape Dutch Style.AWARDS & PUBLICATIONS
