Unique To Elemental Architects:

We design green circular economy housing Mega Projects, and Agricultural & Industrial infrastructure Mega Projects

We are designers in a green circular economy - this gives us the power to grow prosperity, jobs, and resilience while cutting greenhouse gas emissions, waste, and pollution. By using the green qualifications through the Green Building Council of South Africa and International Living Building Institute, we are able to integrate these elements into sustainable green developments.

By planning for circular economy, integrated services & utilities, ie: solar farm & grey water treatments, the green energies are planned from the onset. Likewise, the designs include future forseable technologies that are likely to be taking place in the next 5 - 15 years, ie: Sky Port (transport drone landing station), autonomous vehicle parkings, electric vehicle charging stations, etc.

Lastly, the quality of life in the developments are of utmost importance, and thus the special care is taken to create spaces not only for housing, but also for recreation, education and general public outdoor activites. By creating these public open-use spaces - one not only enhances the quality of life of residence, but also enables sports activities, youth development and public & private education.

Chantelle, Fochville

A development consisting of units in a safe complex style environment. Lots of access to landscaped areas, which enable the residents feel nature surrounding them while in an urban setting.

The retail center and petrol station offer easy and convenient access for the residents, so cars are limited and walking encouraged. This is the perfect setting for a small to medium sized family.

Medical Facility and Proposed Mega Project Development

We incorporate design priciples which require a net-positive environmental impact to promote wellness, health and sustainability. Best Building and Urban Design Practices are taken, borrowed and hand picked. This will also ensure the best user experience and use of the spaces, both around and within the buildings and improve the quality of life.

Medical Facility will provide local access to proactive prevention, primary care, advanced diagnostics, and specialist outpatient care day- today care and will be able to stabilize critically injured or ill patients before their transport to a hospital.

The building is expected to be a smart clinic with a state of the art, innovative design.

Objectives:

Provide high-end health services and save lives.

Emplace Medical Facility that can be expanded based upon required capabilities as the Mega City grows.

The buildings present an illusion of sliding movement across a module’s surface, while stretching to a forbidden, angled reach out of it’s presumed frame. This creates a feeling of flow and velocity - much like the users in the space below and above, constantly moving and experiencing the surrounds - seldom static and always with potential to shift irregularly.

An opportunity to combine multiple uses within one site, where each aspect can compliment the other. From learning centers, to functional workshops which the students can actively be involved in, learn and grow.

The container style design allows diversity and growth opportunity, each module can be adapted to suit the users needs. It’s a wonderland of diversity.

There is a big need in the Western part of Gauteng for industrial facilities and a large Agricultural processing installation with a Fresh Produce market. It shall enable large and small-scale farmers and food producers in Western Part of Johannesburg and North West Province to have access to local yet world-class facilities for the trading of their fresh produce to local, national and international markets. Special attention will be given to utilizing biomimicry and natural air flows and layouts as in the nature. This will ensure energy efficiency as well as natural ventilation.
