Visser Architects

Visser Architects is an award winning design studio located in Cape Town, South Africa. Over the past decade we have worked on a broad spectrum of projects, ranging from schools and hotels, visitors centres, wineries, industrial buildings, beach houses and major residences. Although there are consistencies in aspects of all our work, we approach each project as a unique and individualized opportunity for design excellence. The palette of materials we use is honest, natural and robust, designed to age gracefully by being either incredibly tough or by developing a patina over time. Our architecture could be categorized as timeless and is definitely not based on any particular style. We share a great respect for the textures, richness, proportion and appropriateness to site and climate of traditional architecture, yet our work aims to achieve these qualities in contemporary architecture without building replica old buildings. We offer the full range of architectural services, in a dedicated team environment. We believe that architecture is a powerful art which has a huge effect on people’s daily lives. We thoroughly enjoy our work and thrive on creating buildings which fit the context and the site which they are custom built for. We listen to our clients and help to raise their and our standards to architectural excellence within the constraints of budget and briefs.
