Lucid Architecture has had over a decade of delivering personalised and attentive service to our clients. We believe that successful architectural design is a marriage between excellent client service and the dedication to creating logical and innovative solutions to all design needs.
Our designs exist in harmony with their surroundings and make use of sustainable and beautiful materials to create functional spaces that still celebrate form. We have stayed at the forefront of design technology so that all aspects of design, flow, and functionality can be rendered and communicated with transparency. After care has been taken in all stages of the design process, we integrate feedback from the holistic professional team: from council submission and heritage and energy consultants to engineers and quantity surveyors, we ensure that projects progress with the necessary expediency and precision. To date, we have completed many alterations and additions, including new residences, community centers, and various public-use buildings.
Mission Statement
Our goal is to positively impact the design landscape of our immediate region, city, and country, and in so doing, we are committed to:
- Providing our clients with a highly-personalized interface from beginning to end of any given project;
- Creative, logical and intuitive design processes;
- Excellence, innovation & mastery;
- Continued development of skills.
With a passion for unique and innovative design solutions and divergence from common stylistic responses to the current needs of society, we believe we can positively impact the current state of the built environment in South Africa.
Testimonials
“Gary was extremely professional and fully understood the brief. In addition his experience and expertise further developed our proposed changes to our house into something more than we expected. The use of technology further enhanced the user experience and we were able to clearly understand from a non-technical perspective what the changes involve. This also assisted the contractors in more effectively pricing the scope and made for easier adjudication of the construction contractors prices.” ~ Trevor Anderson
“I have worked with Lucid Architecture on numerous projects. They have a unique flair for understanding what the client wants and needs, this with the ability and knowledge to design a home that is practical as well as energy efficient. The most notable aspect however is the integrity of the people you will be dealing with.” ~ PRO Rock Solid Developments
“Gary first did the plans for our church, we were so impressed with his presentation that we asked him to do our renovation plans for our property in Eye of Africa. We sold the property before doing the reno and purchased a stand – also in Eye of Africa. We again asked him to do our plans and are very happy with his efficiency and designs. We are quite particular and he has always been patient and understanding, irrespective of our changes, phone calls and questions. We would look no further than Gary for an architect!” – Debbie Skopelitis
“Lucid Architecture was very professional and efficient in assisting me with my solar panel Municipal application. They adhered to the particular requirements of the Home Owners Association and the Municipality to ensure the addition was compliant and until my application was approved. Lucid architecture was able to recommend a capable network of associated professionals, like engineers, who were as diligent at executing their work. I would gladly use them again and I confidently recommend them to anyone requiring architectural services nationwide.” – Graeme Sim
