ABOUT
With keen observations and good interpretation of unique design challenges we promote holistic design outcomes. Having lived across South Africa and abroad, we are open-minded and strive to create meaningful architectural spaces. We admire people and the potential of diverse ideas that sprout from joining in conversation. The name ElephantWhale suggests the unification of land and sea as natural and symbolic forces.
We grow through understanding nature and our connection to the environment and therefore a ‘delicate balance’ among creative stimuli is always the goal.
