Mark Leslie-Smith Architect, Durban

Architecture has been my game for 22 years now, and still, I never fail to become excited all over again at the prospect and challenge of creating something new, something uniquely tailor made to the clients needs, and something which would make both client and architect proud.The task of taking the hopes and dreams of a client, and creating the reality to match that, or more; is a responsibility not taken lightly.A new home is often the largest investment one would make in ones lifetime, and you would want to place this responsibility in the hands of a qualified professional with whom you can connect on a personal, emotional, and intellectual level, or the finer nuances of the dream will never be fully realized.It is often the summation of the smaller things that completes the whole. Attention to detail, clean lines and an emphasis on honesty to the immediate environment are fundamental to the underlying thread of creating good buildings through good design.
