What you should know about Aziz Tayob Architects
We are firmly committed to continually responding positively to the movement to ensure that buildings are sustainable and ecologically friendly.
We are able to do detailed energy requirements calculations, compare various options to determine energy efficiency as well as carbon footprint.
The software is integrated with our CAD software, allowing us to do these at any stage of the project, from design through to as built to support us in determining the most efficient design.
The practice was established in 1970 in Pageview, Johannesburg. Over the past 47 years of its existence, the firm has strove to create buildings that are honest, functional, thought provoking and innovative. The design approach has been to achieve the most advantageous design for the very limited resources and space available to the underpriviledged communities of South Africa. This has resulted in the maximum utilisation of land, space and cost efficient quality and creative design, free from trendy frills. In recognition of this, the firm has received merit and recognition awards over the years. The firms has worked on more than 600 projects, ranging from the urban scale down to the small logo design and covers work in the private, corporate and public sector. The South African High Commission in Lilongwe have just moved into their new building. As an embassy/chancery, the building had to take into account the high security necessary. At the same time as a consulate, it had to interact with the general public. As one goes deeper into the building, the privacy increases. The earlier parts of the building try to be as 'friendly' as possible as they interact with the general public. The intention was also to embrace and be a positive addition to the Lilongwe environment. The roof overhangs and deep recessed fit in with the climate. The use of a similar local facebrick blends it in as a local building, rather than as a foreign intrusion. With it being lit up from the inside, the building gives something to the cityscape at night.
