Client Testimonials

Mike Rudolph was introduced to us in 1986 when we needed an architect to design a family home for us in Constantia. The house still stands, we still live in it, & we still love it. He subsequently took responsibility for the design & total rebuild of our guesthouse 'the Homestead' in St James & the result is testimony to his empathy for the era & accurately reflects his attention to detail. We wish him & his capable team all the best in their endeavours.

“ A profound design process eventually makes the patron, the architect, & every occasional visitor in the building a slightly better human being.”
