This is an effort to help save the planet, which we are proud to pursue, because it benefits future generations.” Tebogo then spills the beans on the firm’s most successful project to date and how their innovative solutions contribute towards their success. “Our most successful project to date is working on the boardroom refurbishments of The Republic of Botswana’s Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry. Our work here surpassed the client’s expectations, indeed their procurement team made it possible to ensure that we delivered the highest quality level of design possible. Communications, transparency and quality control were the key factors that made this project a success story. “We also attend exhibitions and keep abreast of world design trends. Every client is unique, so we design innovative solutions that stand out. I believe that helps to maintain our success in the built environment industry today.” In closing, Tebogo enlightens us on her future aspirations for the firm. “We are not ashamed to work with other designers, we love collaborations; they broaden our way of thinking so we grow as individuals and collectively as a firm. We are working on a consortium with other built environment professionals, in a mixed-use development project, which will take us five years to complete. “We are young designers who are passionate and work hard towards changing the landscape of the built environment. We have a rich culture and we want to incorporate different cultures in our designs and sell it to the rest of the world.”
