A little about THE BUSINESS

At David Machell Architecture, your needs come first. A strong interest in minimalist design is based on a belief that having less clutter in our lives allows us to appreciate our surroundings and human interactions more.


Designs are simple, functional and aim to use the highest quality materials with minimal impact on the environment. I collaborate with different professionals and statutory bodies with the sole aim of enhancing our clients lives through considered design.

The foundation of the practice's work lies in a continual committal to genuine social, environmentally sustainable and economic ideals.
