As a custodian of architecture, the Pretoria Institute for Architecture is delighted with the performance of our member architects at the recent SAIA Corobrik Awards. Following several rounds of adjudication, a panel comprising prominent architects and academics endowed only the best projects. On the 1st of August, two Pretoria firms received Awards for Excellence – the highest honour for South African architects.
The first Award of Excellence was awarded to TG Architects for House Kleynhans. This unique residence is perfectly in tune with both wilderness of the veld and the ordered quality of the farmlands of Marble Hall.
“The owners’ confidence in us as architects and their hands-on involvement in the construction process made this project possible” admitted Architect, Thomas Gouws. Gouws and his interior architect wife, Sureen, forms a formidable team and have received numerous awards in the past.
W Design Architecture studio was rewarded with an Award of Excellence for House Snyders located in the Blair Athol Estate in Johannesburg.
The architects, Johan Wenzel and Grete Van As managed to respect nature and give the family an unique residence to be proud of. “Our client deserves massive acknowledgement for the success of this project. We can only deliver quality work when our clients enable us by trusting us completely,” says Wentzel.
Crafford & Crafford Architects received an award of Merit for the New Architecture Wing at the Tshwane University of Technology. The building actively engages students to interact with the building. This results in an environment where architectural students learn and understand building by actively changing the building facades to adapt to seasons.
Earthworld Architects received a Commendation for House Gauche located in Silver Lakes. According to the architect the clients understanding and respect for design helped the design process. “Understanding and collaboration between the client and the architect was the secret to the success of this project,” says Eksteen.
These PIA members upholds the proud tradition of notable Pretoria architects such as Norman Eaton and Gerard Moerdijk in years gone by.
