Stephane V.

Having just completed a Masters degree in Architecture at the University of Pretoria, I am looking for new design challenges and environments in which to further develop as a designer. The architectural exposure I received from my year working in the Seychelles and travels to other Indian ocean islands have left me with an affinity for residential architecture grounded in contextual response. Experiencing several works of Geoffrey Bawa cemented this love of spaces for living in. In my Master's dissertation, I explored various concepts that govern adaptive reuse architecture and my curiosity about this approach to architecture has grown significantly. My design interests extend to satisfy a multitude of curiosities about the experience and emotive qualities of designed objects. My current explorations are into the design and production of eyewear from non-traditional and often repurposed materials such as denim.
