We are a South African based studio specialising in bespoke new builds, clever renovations and renown for remodelling heritage properties. Our holistic approach to architecture and interiors means that we design around how the people within live, move and behave. The spaces we create leave lasting impressions that inspire, feel timeless and ensure comfort.
Lorin’s true love lies in the creation of beautiful places. She has spent years cultivating, curating and nurturing her team, featuring the top talent in the country, built up of specialist architects, designers and craftspeople. Lorin believes in the art of place making and planned spatial experiences, with a focus on private homes, leisure spaces and heritage buildings.
More about kwaLorin combined her love of architecture with a great understanding of her client to produce the perfect family home for us. Our house is truly reflective of us and how we like to live. It was an absolute pleasure working with Lorin. She is dedicated, patient and fun to work with and remained committed right up to the end of the project whilst reassessing decisions throughout. The service she provided exceeded our expectations of an architect with input on so much more than just a set of plans, [including kitchen, joinery & bathroom designs as well as assistance with choosing fixtures and fittings]. We highly recommend Lorin and will definitely work with her again on future projects.
What sets KWA apart as a design practice, is that they don’t have their own agenda: the buildings and spaces are truly reflective of their clients’ personalities and lives. Looking through their portfolio, there is a similar thread to their designs but there are no clones. They have that unique design ability to synthesise individual ideologies into space. This Johannesburg Family home is a perfect example.
