Receiving these acclaimed accolades is testament to our
market leadership, as well as our ongoing commitment to
providing clients with differentiated, world-class service
excellence, coupled with high technological and marketing
innovation as we constantly strive to set new benchmark
standards in the industry.
We are proud that this brings to over 67 IPAs achieved.
With 46 years of experience in the residential property
market, we have established a reputation as a globally
recognised and respected brand in real estate, with our
success built on the same pillars as the IPA’s judging criteria.
Coupled with this, the challenges and socio-economic
impact of the pandemic and ensuing lockdowns on the
global and local economy in today’s rapidly changing
world, has further underscored our commitment to our
core values and in the way we do business. Innovations
include our Live Remarkable campaign which has been
portrayed across media, whereby we recognise remarkable
Africans and the positive impact they have on the world,
celebrating the human spirit and inspiring our own lives.
Operating via a network of over 300 offices in sub-Saharan
Africa as well as several international offices, our agents
are active at both a hyper local, national and global level.
Our aim is to influence and create increased consciousness
among homeowners regarding sustainability, in terms of the
home environment, namely, energy usage and saving, water
conservation, waste and biodiversity in gardens.

What does winning an IPA mean to you?
Winning an award is always a bonus in that it’s a recognition
of an aspect of design excellence, but it isn’t the reason we
practice architecture. When a building fulfils its function in
its context and achieves its objectives visually, functionally,
in terms environmental impact, the comfort and wellbeing
of its occupants while delivering financial return for the
developer, then as a design inspired commercial studio, we
have created a building both beautiful and fit for purpose.
An award is simply recognition of the success of this
endeavour. Award platforms are an opportunity to engage
with the industry at large – and share current or recent
work with the world.
Where to from here?
We continue the journey, trying to push and challenge
the design envelope, constantly re-inventing to remain
fresh and relevant.

Farai Chinomwe.
We recognise remarkable South Africans and Africans and the positive impact they have on the world, celebrating
the human spirit and inspiring our own lives.
These include renowned pulmonologist, Dr Taban, who has a burning desire to assist disadvantaged children to
acquire an education, thereby ensuring that they have a brighter future. Together with our Heart of Gold Trust and
the Emmanuel Taban Foundation, we have pledged our commitment to sponsor bursaries for girls from disadvantaged
backgrounds to enrol at Jeppe High School for Girls.
Our campaign also recognises Farai Chinomwe, a Rastafarian, Zimbabwean musician and long-distance runner
whose calling is to draw attention to the importance and plight of bees on our planet through Blessed Bees Africa.
Then there is Hanli Prinsloo, an ocean conservationist, exceptional free diver and aqua-ambassador for the deep
with her I AM WATER Foundation, who was also selected as one of the World Economic Forum’s Young Global
Leaders, who dives to make a critical and remarkable connection with aquatic wildlife, drawing attention to the
fragility of our blue planet.
SUSTAINABILITY FOCUS AREAS
We have always attempted to follow best practice in the buildings we design and in terms of outright
sustainability we have come a very long way together with our fellow professionals. The bar is being set ever
higher, not because of the points one scores but rather in our goal to genuinely support efforts to curb global
climate change and urban blight in the pursuit of better places to work live and play. This must remain our goal.
