About Us

Reactive Architecture,
with a deep sense of place

“Shaping the life you live in”
goes beyond just designing physical spaces.

It’s about shaping your environment to reflect your
values,
aspirations,
and connection
to the world around you.

It’s about living in harmony with your surroundings.

At das MOi Architects, the approach of taking time to understand clients and their unique needs truly aligns with the idea of a building being an extension of oneself. When architecture reflects personal values and aspirations, it creates a profound sense of belonging and harmony.

Established in 2013, we are a professional architectural practice registered with the South African Council for the Architectural Profession (SACAP) and proud members of both the South African Institute of Architects (SAIA) and the Pretoria Institute for Architecture (PIA). Since our inception, we have upheld the highest standards of excellence and integrity in all our endeavours.

1 The IDEA - on paper

Introducing YOU

The journey begins with understanding you, your lifestyle, values, and goals. This consultation is about understanding the essence of what you’re looking for in a building, aligning with your personal or professional life.

the SITE

We evaluate the unique characteristics of the site, including climate, topography, views, and surrounding context. The landscape informs the design to ensure that the building enhances and integrates with its environment.

& the journey STARTS

Based on the insights gathered we design a basic concept. We begin to explore spatial arrangements, aesthetics, and how the building will interact with the landscape.

2 Vision to STRUCTURE

The next step

The initial concept is developed into a more detailed schematic design. This includes creating floor plans, elevation drawings, and 3D models to explore how spaces will flow and how the building will be perceived both inside and out.

Material Selection

The design begins to take form as we select the materials that will best suit the aesthetic, functional, and environmental goals of the project.

Feedback & Collaboration

We work closely with you to refine the design based on your feedback. Collaboration is key to ensuring the design resonates with your needs.

Zoning & Code Compliance

During this phase, we begin to address zoning regulations and local building codes to ensure that the design is compliant with all legal requirements, with your needs and project budget.

3 The PLANS

Council Approvals

We handle all necessary submissions and regulatory approvals required to begin construction, ensuring compliance with local authorities and building codes.

Comprehensive Plans

This phase involves the preparation of full construction documentation. These documents, together with engineers plans, provide the builder with all the necessary information to begin construction.

4 On SITE

Project Oversight

During the construction phase, we offer ongoing support to ensure the design vision is carried out accurately. We conduct site visits, review progress, and ensure quality control, resolving any issues that may arise during construction.

Coordination with Contractors

We maintain constant communication with the contractor to address any challenges, make adjustments, and ensure that the project stays within budget and on schedule.

Client Updates

You’ll be kept informed with regular updates and progress reports, ensuring that you feel involved and confident in the process.

Interior Design

We offer full interior design services to complement the architecture. From furniture selection to lighting design, we create interiors that align with the architectural vision and enhance your daily experience in the space.

Landscape Design

Our landscape architects work hand-in-hand with the building design, ensuring that outdoor spaces—whether gardens, terraces, or courtyards—are designed to be as integrated and functional as the interior. We emphasize green spaces that promote well-being and sustainability.
