The Design Initiative was established in September of 1997,
and can best be described as an established, dynamic practice with a vision
focused on design excellence. The founding members come from diverse
backgrounds, yet share a passion for quality, superior design and service.
Our primary focus is that of architecture and interior
design of which 50 % constitutes Residential, 30% Commercial,, 10%
Religious and 10% Interior Design.
All members of our
team are dedicated and committed to each project, thereby allowing for a
richness of ideas to be injected into the final product, which is the
characteristic of our work.
Context plays an important role in the development of all of
our designs, and we strive to incorporate the fundamental principles of Green
Architecture, Energy Efficiency & Passive Green Techniques into all our
projects.
We have a responsibility to inform clients of environmental
issues which need to be considered and advise them appropriately on methods
that can be implemented in the initial design of the project, to aid in the
conservation of natural resources and ensure a comfortable living
environment.
The
essence of our projects revolve around both “site-specific” and
“client-specific” design and as
architects, it is satisfying to know that we can make a difference..
