The architect is by essence the best professional to provide you with unique design solutions and to accompany you in the realisation of your project.

PROFILE

THIBAULT FAY ARCHITECTURE (Pty) Ltd founded in January 2016 by Thibault Faÿ, is an architecture firm benefiting from a decade of work in renowned French and South African architecture and engineering companies. The field of competencies of the practice is expressed through multiple projects in mixed urban developments, high-end hotel resorts & spa, restaurants, residential, offices, and public equipment.

The company has the expertise to provide the full architectural services, from concept design stage to construction supervision and beyond. Its design skills took roots in learning the architectural projects in France with different collaborations with AREP, Atelier de Midi, Bernard Schroeder Architect, AMNR, ANMA, Architecture Workshop 2. During these experiences, we have developed a strong knowledge of the built environment, getting a grasp on the urban project in connection with the problematics of mobility in the city. We learned a complete range of construction technics which we are able to implement in multi-storey buildings made of concrete, brick, steel and timber. Subsequently, the South African experience has confirmed strong abilities to handle the architectural project in co-ordination with the different stakeholders which enabled to build solid contacts and develop a trust relationship with the clients and the allied professionals. They both appreciate a personal and adapted approach based on the two fundamental keys of our philosophy which are the particular attention to
The People and the sensitivity of the installation in The Context. The synthesis of the inherent constraints coming from the latter makes each project one of a kind.

THE PEOPLE
Architectural creation is an act made by the people for the people. Its very first priority is centered on the Human Being hence aiming to create a suitable place to host the human activities protected against the various weather conditions. Our cities are a complex assemblage of buildings and are one of the most revealing vector of our society and ways of living together. In our practice, we attach a particular attention to the people to bond the City with the Building and the Human. This consideration is implemented through first, listening thoroughly to the client to translate its ambitions into an architectural project. Then composing and interacting actively with the whole professional team aiming to find and propose the most adapted solutions to the client’s needs and constraints. Finally, all along the different stages, we bear in mind the architectural process that the end user experience must be delightful from the general functioning of the building to the smallest details.

CONTEXT
The Environment in its widest possible meaning is also at the centre of reflections in our practice. As much as the physical aspects of the site; orientation; sun; rain; wind; ground condition; the historical and cultural context are giving strong guidelines to create a successful realisation. Since the very beginning, we have been especially sensitive to the fact that we are all sharing a unique planet today and that our resources are limited. As architects, we have a preeminent role in the implementation of sustainable development and we strive to deliver buildings increasingly respectful to Planet Earth. In this way, the experience taken in Europe feeds the eagerness to propose an overall strategy and innovative solutions to create and build a construction living in symbiosis with its environment. Respecting the “genius loci”, the context must reveal the building as much as the construction has to bring value to the context.

These two major values are the cornerstone of the practice at THIBAULT FAY ARCHITECTURE and are accompanied with other non-limited human qualities that  bring pleasure at work, consistency, and reliability in all the projects undertaken.
