about

WORX Architecture and Projects is a locally based architectural practice in the Northern Cape town of Kathu. The need for localized practice was identified in late 2010 and in so doing, Worx was envisioned.

As a dynamic practice our vision and hope is to service and enable our communities to build upon relevant architectural design that uniquely edifies the end user.

Our goal is to provide architectural and design services in the context of exceptionally strong and rewarding interpersonal client relationships. As a firm, we are committed to and strive for: Creation of unique and innovative design solutions that respond to each client’s aesthetic and budgetary needs within the confines of regional authenticity.
