“If we understand that design leads to the manifestation of human intention, and that if what me make with our hands is to be sacred and honour the earth that gives us life, then the things that we make must not only rise from the earth but return to it, so that everything received from earth can be freely given back without causing harm to any given living system, this is good design.” (William McDonough. 1993).

OSGLO Architects cc occupies office space in Louis Trichardt in the Makhado municipal district at 25A Erasmus Street. Through our intensive technological approach our fully computerised office enables us to commit more time to client consultations, design planning and presentation.
The following is a shortlist of necessary equipment:
All our technical staff are trained in the use of the CAD systems and OSGLO Architects has all the necessary skills and resources to execute our duties professionally, delivering exceptional service and quality to our clients.
To ensure this the directors of OSGLO are actively involved with the design and management of all projects to ensure a smooth transition of the project from our offices to the construction site.
During our long years of practice we continually strive to assist in the developing of our technical staff, especially those from a historically disadvantaged background. We assisted historically disadvantaged students with their tertiary education, one of which is now a shareholder in the company.
As a decentralized office, away from the larger centres, we do not easily attract young professionals in to this area. We therefore believe in the career development of local historically disadvantaged people and youth.
Our total drawing office staff consists mainly of historically disadvantaged individuals and youth who receive proper technical in-service training with a career development strategy. This office rendered several services to communities at no costs and wish to note some of these activities:
You as the client, have many options on how you would like to engage with us. We can be appointed to provide a full turnkey service or you may want assistance on particular aspects of a project. Either way, we can customise our services to suit your particular needs.
Our experience has shown that when we handle all facets of the construction project, a better quality product as well as savings are generally achieved, giving you as client peace of mind that the project will be completed within budget. OSGLO Architects ensures that for the duration of the project communication and accountability remain focused.
OSGLO Architects, can if required easily engage in a specific role only, adding value and experience to the project team. As required by our Professional Indemnity Insurance all appointments are by means of the South African Institute of Architects - Client Architect Agreement.
