Testimonials
We love our new home designed by Andre and Willem! Its design elements weren’t fully appreciated until we started living in the house. For the past 3 years it has been a source of unending pleasure discovering different intriguing aspects of the design. For example, the visual excitement induced by the varying ceiling heights on the first floor and the exterior that offers diverse perspectives. One can never get tired of marvelling at the beautiful design!
- Louw & Ingred Gerber
The house with all rooms being glass-fronted and leading onto wooden decks is perfectly designed for our lifestyle. Nowhere in the house are you cut off from any other part, and the layout is well suited for entertaining. I designed the garden in such way that house and garden are integrated.
- De Wet Louw
The end result is a beautifully designed home with a contemporary aesthetic that harmonises with its surroundings. The house offers exceptional comfort with a warm, inviting atmosphere. During the day, we enjoy the natural surroundings, and at night, the moon and stars are visible through the tall windows. The design encourages relaxed gatherings with family and friends, making optimal use of every space.
- Ettienne Hefer
Mellet & Human Architects designed our family home, blending aesthetics with function to create a spectacular space. They prioritized natural light and seamless indoor-outdoor connections, incorporating three levels of curved windows around a sweeping staircase to bring the outdoors inside. The design thoughtfully enhances the natural beauty of the location, offering stunning views from multiple levels. The result is a stunning home that feels perfectly in harmony with its surroundings.
