Vorstermans Architects

The practice provides architectural services through accurately ascertaining clients needs and working together to provide practical and innovative solutions. Fundamental to our approach are both the desire to achieve a better spatial and material environment, and to fully understand the needs of our clients.

As a major factor of any building project is cost, we believe it is essential to be aware of budgetary constraints and to work within these. Clear communication is established with respect to budget at the outset, and we keep the dialogue of value versus cost open through the project so that implications of decisions are apparent.

The practice works with a team approach, discussion and critique of projects is an integral part of the way we work. Between us we have diverse experience of many types of building and procurement processes; sharing knowledge and ideas on a project is essential. A strength of our team is the range of approaches we encompass, from being able to seamlessly remodel an existing historic residence, to making a thoroughly contemporary addition sit happily next to a traditional construction type.

Our experience also covers a range of scales of work, from large commercial projects to very small residential alterations. This is another positive benefit of practising a team approach where our complementary strengths offer the flexibility to tailor our professional services to specific client needs.

All members of the practice enjoy client contact and believe that the process of making a project happen should be exciting. While striving towards excellence in design is always part of our approach, we also firmly believe the process should be enjoyable and rewarding for all involved.
