2610 South Architects - Johannesburg

26'10 south Architects is an award winning practice based in Johannesburg, South Africa formed by Anne Graupner and Thorsten Deckler in 2004. The practice brings together essential conceptual design skills as well as technical expertise needed in addressing small, medium and large-scale architectural and urban design projects.

Our projects are located in diverse geographical as well as social and economical scenarios. We are equally ‘at home’ in the inner-city, the suburb, informal settlements and the open landscape. By incorporating critical inquiry and research into the design process each site, client and budget is carefully considered. Constraints are thus treated as design generators. The diverse skills within the practice ensure that architectural and urban design projects

can be conceived at a large and small scale simultaneously. This has numerous benefits for clients, especially in the housing sector, where the integrated design and considered repetition of prototypes can impact positively on the costs as well as on the quality and sustainability of human settlements.

Clients benefit from an intersection of skills acquired in exhibition, interior, furniture and graphic design. In addition 26’10 offers clients an expert in house model making service.
