ETIENNE STOLS ARCHITECTS + ASSOCIATES
PROFILE
Etienne Stols Architects + Associates is a multi-disciplinary practice known for our highly skilled designers, collaborative process, responsive style and inclusive nature. Since 1993, Etienne has been providing architectural and design services nationwide. A company embodied with more than 25 years of experience, our projects range from small-scale residential projects (including bespoke houses, extensions and refurbishments) to large residential complexes, student housing, and commercial and industrial developments. We have arrived at this profession from a potpourri of passions: art, balance, inspiration, design and construction.
Our team includes architects, planners, interior designers and engineers. We have an extensive knowledge of architecture and construction and its various styles and methods, and this allows us serve diverse clients and create a strong expression of the vernacular.
ESAA’s hallmark is providing clients the best service achievable, not only from a design perspective, but also in keeping clear communication throughout the project to ensure client satisfaction. Our projects are commissioned by both new clients that are looking for fresh, innovative ideas as well as returning clients whose expectations were exceeded in their previous projects. No matter the cost, we believe in finishing each project in a way that goes above and beyond clients’ expectations while remaining within the budget and time constraints.
Etienne’s work has been recognized in many publications such as Habitat, SA Home Owner magazine, TimberIQ and GQ magazines. He has also featured on Kyknet’s Droomhuis / Dreamhouse and SABC 3’s Top Billing. His experience and forward thinking gives him a unique perspective, evident in his many projects.
Simplicity is at the core of our approach, aiming to bring a sense of clarity and calm to optimal architecture. We strive to help our clients simplify their lives through architecture as it is entwined in every facet of our being – from work to our homes to our hobbies and social lives.
