Hello!
I’m Will, a passionate architect with over 32 years of experience in designing transformative spaces. My architectural journey began in the vibrant landscapes of South Africa, where I was inspired by my father, also an architect, as we walked through numerous building sites. These experiences deeply ingrained in me the value of thoughtful design and its impact on everyday life.
Having founded my own architecture firm 25 years ago, I specialised in social housing and custom private residences, focusing on creating meaningful and visually stunning environments. My approach is rooted in the belief that design should be empowering and enjoyable, removing the stress and insecurity often associated with creating personal spaces.
My courses on Udemy are designed to empower you with the knowledge and tools necessary to bring your dream spaces to life, regardless of their complexity. I aim to transform the traditional architect-client relationship into a dynamic collaboration, ensuring that your vision is realised in ways that resonate deeply with your personal aspirations.
Join me on this exciting journey to unlock the potential of your creative ideas, and together, let’s craft spaces that reflect your unique identity and dreams.
