MONDAY | New week, new meetings, and plenty of places to make them happen.

From boardrooms built for big decisions, to office cafeterias made for a quick recharge. From cozy meeting spaces for those “just one more thing” conversations, to the all-important work-from-home nook (yes, even the one that’s become your permanent office 😉).

Whatever your Monday looks like, VBBA has an office solution to suit the way you work.

So, which one will you be sitting in today? 👇

The Good Hope Centre has stood at the heart of Cape Town for nearly 50 years.

Now, after a R135 million deal fell through, its future is once again up for debate.

Affordable housing? A cultural and events space? Retail and entertainment? A mixed-use precinct?

If you could decide, what would you like to see the Good Hope Centre become?

What do you think the Good Hope Centre should be used for?

Service lift or wheelchair access lift? While both can connect different levels of a home, they are designed to do very different things.

Service Lift vs Wheelchair Access Lift: What’s the Difference?
A service lift can make everyday life easier by transporting groceries, laundry and other household items between floors. A wheelchair access lift, on the other hand, is designed around safe, accessible movement for people.

The right solution depends on how you live now, how you plan to live in the future and how the lift can be integrated into the architecture of your home.

At VBBA, we consider the bigger picture, helping you explore practical design solutions that work for your space, lifestyle and long-term needs.

Floating stairs create a striking sense of openness, turning a functional element into a sculptural architectural feature. By allowing light and sightlines to move through the space, they can make interiors feel lighter, larger and more connected.

Not sure exactly what your dream staircase looks like yet? Van Biljon Barnardo Architects can help you visualise different possibilities and shape them into a solution that feels uniquely yours.

THINKING ABOUT ADDING A DECK? If you’re looking at that pool or braai area and thinking, “This could be so much better,” you’re probably right.

But good decking isn’t just about adding timber. It’s about making the entire outdoor space work better.

🏡 Does it connect naturally to your home and extend your living space?

🚶 Is there an easy flow between the kitchen, braai, pool and garden?

📐 Is the size and shape right for the space, or will it overwhelm the garden?

🌿 Does the warmth of the timber complement the architecture and landscaping?

✨ And have you thought about what happens beyond the deck, from planting and lighting to furniture and privacy?

Because the goal isn’t simply to have a deck.

It’s to create an outdoor space you’ll actually want to use, whether that means summer afternoons around the pool, long lunches with friends or Friday-night braais that somehow turn into Saturday mornings. 🍷🔥

That’s where good design makes all the difference.

So, if you could transform one outdoor space at your home, would it be your pool area, braai area or both? 👇

RENOVATION OR RESTORATION?

If you had to choose, would you renovate it or restore it?

Either way, it takes a certain ability to see the potential, to look beyond what’s there today and imagine what it could become tomorrow.

1. The awkward box room? You see the dream walk-in wardrobe. 👗
2. The dilapidated backyard? You see a leafy outdoor escape. 🌿
3. The dusty old garage? You see the ultimate work-from-home studio. 👀

So, are you one of those people who can look at an image and instantly visualise what it could become?

What do you see? 👀

Cast your vote in the comments: RESTORE or RENOVATE, and tell us what you see in the space. 👇

✨ There’s no such thing as a dead space.

When building or renovating, landscaping is often the first area to suffer when budgets start to stretch. But that doesn’t mean your outdoor spaces need to be an afterthought.

With a little imagination, and a conversation with your architect, even the smallest corner can become something magical. Think cascading waterfalls, quiet poolside retreats, sculptural resin bowls filled with natural fynbos, or simply transforming a boundary wall with beautiful pavers and lush tropical planting.

The possibilities are endless. Your outdoor space should feel just as considered and enchanting as the home itself.

Talk to VBBA about how a little imagination can turn every corner of your home into something special.

Home improvements don’t always mean a major renovation. Sometimes, the right small changes can make a big impact.

🌿 Take living outdoors with a beautifully designed deck or patio.
☀️ Open up the view with additional windows or shutter doors, bringing in more light and the outdoors.
🏡 Transform your outdoor area into an inviting space for relaxing, entertaining and making memories.

Thoughtful design can enhance your lifestyle and add major value to your home.
