We re-design your workplace, home, shop or restaurant to adapt to the latest developments & help you move forward.
A strategic tool to nurture interactions.
For us, architecture is not the most important thing. It is not about what the building or the space looks like. It is about how it affects you. It is about the quality of the interactions it helps you nurture. It is not what it is, it is what it does. We use architecture as a tool to nurture the very interactions you need at every step of the way.
The seeds of added value.
Whatever the added value you are trying to create, whether better relationships at home, more meaningful interactions with your colleagues or more successful impact through your organisation, your interactions affect your results. We design your physical environment – whether your workplace, home, cafe, shop or museum – to trigger and nurture the interactions that will feed into more successfully results, on a daily basis.
Maximised by your space.
We create the environments that optimise your results. We use architecture as a strategic tool to foster interactions. We conceive of architecture as the contexts where interactions emerge. This way, we ensure that you can use your space to do what you do better. We enable you to use your space to accelerate your impact.
An essential part of the process.
We believe that the people who will inhabit the space are the experts in how they will inhabit it. We do not believe that the customary architecture process that is commonly used by architects can create spaces that nurture interactions. We have reinvented the architectural process to be a collaborative one instead of a dictating one. Through 4 iterative phases, we help make your world a better space, to nurture your interactions and maximise your added value.
"People who wake up in the middle of the night thinking "How do I transform my company? How do I accelerate innovation?" Those are the people who will find a response in the concepts & philosophy of AKKA Architects. Why? Because they have tried everything before. They have hired the best people, invested a lot of money in technology and processes within their companies. They should try space as a strategic asset. These people, these business leaders who are forward thinking can benefit and find a response in AKKA Architects."
Whether you are considering a renovation or an extension to your present home or the construction of a completely new house, choosing a professional to help you is one of the most important considerations that go into this project.
This week, we share the extremely insightful conversation our CEO Stephanie Akkaoui Hughes had with Bertie van Wyk, Workplace Specialist at Herman Miller.
We have all been through a rollercoaster year. While working from home hasn’t always been easy, we are now more experienced in remote working. Many of us still struggle with the challenges of remote working and are looking for possible ideas that can help.
"AKKA has a very concrete skillset in which they understand the concepts of people needs and their business, and translate this into concrete pieces of spaces & furniture which draw in how space interaction would work and how people will behave around the space."

Architecture is a service, not a product.
Architecture is a service, not a whim or a fancy.
Architecture starts from the users, not from the Architect. This means, listening to clients and users is indispensable and the service needs to be created from them, with them, and not imposed on them.
