WE’RE SPECIALISTS IN DRAFTING, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS

We are experienced professionals who specialise in drafting architectural plans, architectural designs and the interior aspects of designs. We can also help manage the building process for our clients together with other relevant construction specialists.

As the building industry evolves, we embrace both local and global trends, including the shift towards green buildings. We also acknowledge our rich South African cultural and historical heritage. These influences are reflected in our designs for clients in the residential, commercial and industrial sectors. The ultimate result is a space that is harmonious and holistic for maximum enjoyment, appeal and use.

LEADERSHIP

Red Atlantic Architecture is owner-managed by qualified architect Renier van Jaarsveld.

After graduating with a National Diploma in Architecture from CPUT, Renier briefly worked in the catering industry in the UK. He returned in 1997 and launched his career in architecture at an architectural firm in Stellenbosch. Seven years later, he established Red Atlantic Architecture.

Renier’s philosophy is about making the best use of limited space. His goal is to make a positive difference by giving and adding value. In his spare time, he likes to build Lego constructions with his sons!

MEETING CLIENT NEEDS

We like to work closely with our clients and have a good track record in understanding clients’ needs. Following the briefing meeting, nine out of 10 clients approve our initial designs!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

“I have known Renier/ Red Atlantic for the past two years, when we constructed a property at DigtebyEstate in Vlottenburg. I have found them to be extremely helpful. The best attributes of Renier are the following:

• He listens and made sure he understood our needs and expectations.
• He is meticulous, with attention to fine detail.
• He was the perfect link or conduit between ourselves and all the suppliers.
• He kept us informed on progress and delivered on time every time.
• If anyone ever needs an architect that holds your hand throughout the entire construction process, look no further than Renier.”

~ Bernard Fourie, a valued client

I have worked as a Property Consultant for the last 6 years which is also how long I have known and worked with Renier. He is the most accommodating architect I know, always willing to explore further design possibilities until the clients are 100% satisfied. I can highly recommend him. 

~ Annette van der Merwe, property consultant

“We approached Red Atlantic to help with the design and planning of our Stellenbosch home. Renier and the Red Atlantic team, who were intricately aware and familiar with the aesthetics requirements and guidelines of our estate, walked us through all the processes from beginning to the final completion. Dealing with Renier was an absolute pleasure and what started as a professional relationship developed into an enduring friendship.”
