The Creative Axis' Architects brings together a wealth of creative and commercial talent in a union that is rare in the architectural design profession, creating a leading African design consultancy that is amongst the top fully empowered practices in South Africa. The practice has a track record of over 30 years of experience. In South Africa, the practice has its headquarters in Johannesburg, Gauteng, with regional offices in KZN, Western Cape, Free State, Limpopo, North West, Mpumalanga and the Eastern Cape. The Creative Axis has an international office primarily focusing on projects in Africa, UK, Middle East and Asia. It is common for the character or spirit of an architectural practice to be distinguished by the style of its buildings. At The Creative Axis, we strive to create contemporary buildings that support both client and the environment, meeting commercial and functional targets whilst contributing to local quality. We have no preconceptions in terms of design, but respond overall to our client's brief and to the social, physical and historical context in order to determine the appropriate design solution.The architectural values of The Creative Axis have remained consistently strong. We have always believed that the best solution is the most appropriate to the context of time and place, to client needs, to durability of aesthetics and build quality, to budget and programme, and above all, to sustainability. The Creative Axis stands for elegant, contemporary, contextual architecture, and we expect to see our future successes based on that foundation as firmly as the successes of the past.
