Kritzinger Architects

Kritzinger Architects is a boutique architecture and interior design practice in Green Point, Cape Town, known for thoughtful, context-sensitive work across Southern Africa and beyond. Founded in 2010, the studio has delivered a broad portfolio that spans upmarket homes, boutique hotels, schools, art galleries, and bespoke coastal retreats. From Cape Town’s Atlantic Seaboard and the West Coast to international locations in Europe, Africa and island destinations, Kritzinger Architects brings a refined yet grounded design sensibility to every project.

Working from their Green Point base in Cape Town, the practice focuses on creating contemporary spaces that are rooted in place, responding carefully to landscape, climate and local vernacular. Whether it is a hillside residence overlooking a golf course in Plettenberg Bay, a lagoon-side cottage in the West Coast National Park, or a villa on a remote island, their work balances architectural clarity with warmth, comfort and liveability. Clients include private homeowners, hospitality operators, educational institutions and cultural organisations seeking architecture that is both enduring and expressive.

Kritzinger Architects serves clients in Green Point, wider Cape Town, the Western Cape and Southern Africa, guiding projects from concept through to completion. The studio is particularly suited to clients who value bespoke design, meticulous detailing and a strong connection between architecture, landscape and interior experience.

Services & Specialties

Kritzinger Architects offers a full spectrum of architectural and interior design services, from early feasibility and concept development to detailed design and on-site coordination. The practice is experienced in residential architecture, including new-build homes, alterations and additions, and high-end coastal or country houses that respond closely to their surroundings. Notable residential work includes hillside homes that integrate with natural topography, indigenous roof gardens that double as landscapes, and carefully framed views that celebrate the Cape’s coastal and mountain settings.

The studio also undertakes hospitality, educational and cultural projects, such as boutique hotels, schools and art galleries, as well as select international commissions. These projects often involve sensitive sites, heritage contexts or environmentally significant locations, where material authenticity, considered scale and climate-responsive design are key. Interior architecture is seamlessly integrated into each project, aligning spatial planning, joinery, finishes and lighting to create cohesive, human-centred spaces that feel both sophisticated and relaxed.

A defining specialty of Kritzinger Architects is their ability to interpret local vernaculars in a contemporary way. From modest fisherman-inspired cottages on the West Coast, with characteristic fireplaces, flat roofs and small openings, to refined country houses and city villas, the practice respects local building traditions while reimagining them for modern living. This balance of architectural heritage and modern practicality sets Kritzinger Architects apart in the Cape Town architecture and interior design landscape.
