Innovative Architecture Rooted in Purpose and Vision.

Synthesis Architecture is a progressive architectural design practice dedicated to addressing contemporary challenges in the built environment through innovative design and creative thinking. Established in 2012 and based in Randburg, Gauteng, we deliver projects across commercial, industrial, and residential sectors.

As a dynamic and agile firm, we maintain close collaborations with a broad network of professionals within the construction industry. By leveraging these relationships, we are well-equipped to manage and execute a diverse range of projects with efficiency and quality.

Our core mission is to develop simple yet innovative and practical design solutions that are deeply responsive to the unique African context. We design buildings for people prioritising positive outcomes for all users while contributing meaningfully to their sites and surroundings. Every project we undertake is treated as unique, with tailored solutions that reflect its distinct requirements. We do not adhere to any specific architectural “style,” but rather focus on creating designs that are functional, contextually relevant, and timeless.
