Breaking The Mould

Our Studio

They say the more you blend in, the less you’ll stand out.
Truth be told, the most brilliant design trends are the ones you intentionally sidestep - turning quantity into quality, less into more and basic into beauty.

Back in 2005, sitting in sunny Durban, we dared to go against the grain and create spaces that don’t just stand; they speak. With a local touch and global inspiration, our design moves away from fleeting trends, becoming a true and timeless reflection of the lives and stories within.

Welcome to Arkus Studio – going beyond bricks and mortar.

Design Philosophy

Design integrity is our backbone. It’s not just a buzzword; it’s what sets our projects apart.
After all, a house of cards will always collapse without a solid foundation.

We dig into the heart of each project. The site, the climate, the community—they’re not just details; they’re the blueprint of what we create.

Our craft is rooted in nature and shaped by the stories of the people who have a vision for them.
