My architectural personality is fuelled by being in love with the poetry of possibility, the city, the everyday, the built environment. I strive towards this poetry through finding and seeking excellence in every encounter both animate and inanimate.

My passion for learning and teaching weaves around and in between my architect self. Every new thing learnt or [re]discovered is an opportunity to see something or someone or myself from a #fresh perspective.

Althea graduated with her BAS and BARCH degree from the University of the Witwatersrand. She has been involved in teaching first year design at Wits and is an external examiner at the University of the Witwatersrand and the University of Johannesburg.

I love cities -especially Johannesburg. The vibe, the energy of the people and their resourcefulness inspires me. Social injustice concerns me and I am passionate about architecture and its ability to make a tangible difference in peoples lives, to spatially transform our environment.

Oh and I love to travel! I have lived and studied aboard which helps me keep a global perspective. But ultimately, I am a passionate about South Africa and love to engage with creative people around me.

South Africa is my country. A melting-pot of people, cultures, and religions. My architectural disposition stems from its streets.

I believe that architecture can act as a vehicle for social transformation in our country and that architect’s need to recognise our responsibility to be aware of the political, cultural and social nature of our work.

My hope is that when people occupy a space that we have designed, growth occurs and knowledge is shared.

Ilhaam embarked on her Architectural studies at the University of Pretoria, completing her masters on Spatial Justice in 2016. She registered as a Professional architect with SACAP in 2018.

Growing up in Pretoria, I developed a passion for architecture & all things construction from an early age. Creativity, in all its forms, is what inspires me; nature is what calms me and where I am my most true self.

I have a passion for heritage within architecture, especially in the context of South Africa. In architecture, I strongly feel that the objective must always be a satisfying result – fulfilling a need for a successful, mindful, unifying, contextual space.
