Our Practice + Process - a little about us.

We help clients just like you to create your dream space while minimising the overwhelm that is building work and legislative approvals. 

I work closely with you throughout your project, focusing on the various aspects of 

building a home.

Just like you, I wear many hats, and my typical ‘day in the life’ includes 

+ design visualisation, mood boards, and material selection 

+ drawing building plans and construction details

+ maneuvering local authority approvals 

+ liaising with contractors, suppliers, and consultants

+ business development and administration

With a vested interest in Johannesburg, Laura is a SACAP-registered Professional Architect based in Linden and knows and loves this troubled, scrambling city. 

Before moving to Linden, Laura was based in Parkhurst, where her passion for placemaking led her to join PRABOA, serving residents by investigating urban solutions to citywide issues.

Before going solo, Laura gained phenomenal experience across various typologies at various award-winning firms by working on notable projects such as the 5-Star Green Star design rated 144 Oxford Road (2020), 21 Scott Street (2017), and Alice Lane Phase III (2017), by Paragon Group, Sasol Chemcity Incubator Hub (2014) by Impendulo Design Architects, and the Sarah Baartman Centre of Remembrance (2009) by Wilkinson Architects. 

Her undergrad studies taught her about our place in history, and that context is everything, whereas her postgrad studies shaped her ideas about identity and belonging. 

She further explored those notions while lecturing and mentoring undergraduate architecture students at the Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture (University of Johannesburg), and is a member of the Golden Key International Honor Society.  

Off the clock, you can find her scouring secondhand shops for pre-loved items, practicing cooking from scratch, or pottering in the garden.
