WILH & WHITE ARCHITECTS CC
Architecture in Sandton

Our missionis to generate designs that will compliment our clients’ needs. In our view, it is the clients, their families, combined with their ways of living, which ultimately infuse the spaces they occupy, with life. Our public buildings are aimed at providing welcoming and inviting environments for their users. The focus plays on relationships between public perceptions and corporate identities. Spaces are arranged around the rhythmic functions of the work-place and the visiting public, and how these two can co-exist in harmony. Through it all we aspire to always include anticipation, and excitement into their experiences. Our private, residential projects aim to express individuality through translating the brief into a creative expression of the clients’ individual and current needs. Partly, the goal is to shape a timeless shell to act as a blank canvas, onto which the ever-changing needs and expressions of the client can be painted. We believe in the constant evolution of needs, desires and visions. Being an architect gives me the opportunity to live out my passion for space: spatial development is the basis of good architecture. Well-developed space, no matter how is it is dressed, will always result in a comfortable experience. Our inspiration is nature and sustainability with a touch of glamour. It is very rapidly nearing the end of the year and the time when those who live in the shadows become completely forgotten while the rest of us speed off to our fun filled December breaks. Despite the crazy pace of our work and lives we need to be grateful for the privilege that we do have work and crazy lives. What better way to express your gratitude than to contribute to the joy of children. We managed to put 20 boxes together with the jolly assistance of Jandre, Lindi, Liesl, George, Alan and Anna. With the calculation methods prescribed by the new building regulations we have been force to make our buildings with the large windows that we have been so used to in South Africa unnecessarily expensive to achieve compliance. Rational design gives us the opportunity to prove that good design will prevail. We now have the tools and knowledge to reduce the fenestration specifications significantly on our buildings. On the first project we have implemented our new calculation method we have managed to save our client R150,000.00 plus on the reduced specification for the windows. The excitement abounds: we are taking the light back! Although the name has changed our attitude to our work has not. We are still in the business of fine design and personal service. We are currently working on a range of exciting projects all in various stages of completion.
