TPS.P Architects, a wholly owned subsidiary of TWP, is a company
of professionals dedicated to excellence in architecture and quality
service.
Its portfolio includes multiple national and international
projects in commercial, industrial and residential buildings, hotels and
leisure facilities, as well as many projects for the mining industry.
In mining and industrial projects the company’s role ranges from
building design, to the design of complete towns or projects. TPS.P’s
broad range
of expertise and skills allows them to successfully
complete turnkey projects, including organisational studies, design
and execution of building projects and contemporary interior design.
The company’s approach to designing office buildings seeks to
achieve the client’s objective to maximise the rentable area from
the available bulk, by optimising development efficiencies with design
solutions that will remain flexible to the future requirements of
both client and occupant. |
Where required, TPS.P utilises its interior
team – Facets Interiors – to undertake organisational studies to
determine the organisational structure of the user and to deliver the
most appropriate building design solution. The design process thus
allows the company to cross-check for suitability of purpose.
TPS.P’s designers work on local and regional projects throughout
Africa from its head office in Johannesburg, or reside on location.
The company’s offices in Maputo, Mozambique, are used as a base
to pursue commercial and industrial projects in Mozambique as well
as in Angola, with a possibility of extending the company’s African
footprint further afield into Nigeria and Ghana.
