Why Choose Us
Fully Managed Projects From Inception to Completion
Design
We design buildings to embrace both aesthetics and function which is expressed through form, materials and with specific reference to their location and setting. We strive to source new products, materials and building processes to provide innovative designs which are sustainable and environmentally friendly.
Research
When excited by a new venture proposition, and in haste to get to the point, it is human to push for a result. But discarding the thought process and ideals of a vision is to miss most of the story. In the end we may know the structure, but not why it matters. What one person thinks is beautiful, is beautiful to them. We take on board the needs and expectations of clients, and invite each client in the architectural process of delivering their vision.
Experience
CDP Architecture strive to achieve impact regardless of form, scale or function. We offer professional architectural support to a broad and diverse client base ranging from high profile landmark buildings to private nursing homes for both the commercial and residential sectors.
