"There is a reason why some buildings and interior "There is a reason why some buildings and interiors make us feel at ease and happy while others affect our mood negatively. It is because there is a part of the human brain that picks up on geometry and how spaces are organised. This, of course, happens unconsciously and that is why we instinctively feel comfortable or uncomfortable in a space. Humans also intuitively have an emotional connection to spaces based on memories, what their senses pick up from the environment etc. Together, all of these “feelings” have created an architectural discipline that is reshaping the way architects are thinking about design. This discipline is called Neuro-Architecture." Read the full article (link in bio) #neuroarchitecture #veldarchitects #healthyhomes
Neuro-Architecture: Virtual Reality In April we ex Neuro-Architecture: Virtual Reality In April we explore the fascinating findings of Neuro-Architecture. Technologies such as Virtual Reality and connected sensors are helping scientists measure how the brain responds to form and function on an emotional and physical level. Virtual Reality is already allowing architects to bring homeowners closer to “what could be”; Neuro-Architecture takes this to the next level. Imagine being able to measure a person’s heart rate, body temperature, brain waves, eye movement and even “arousal” to establish what spaces would make them happy and healthy… Healthy homes start with you and how you feel about the built environment. This design principle has never been more relevant than during lockdown. What space in your home makes you happy, and why? At Veld Architecture, we aim to design spaces that make our clients happy and healthy. We do this by adopting the best architectural findings and most importantly: getting to know you. We also make use of Virtual Reality and other advanced technologies to bring you into our vision for your dream home… Learn more about our approach to Virtual Reality on our website! #neuroarchitecture #lockdown #industrialarchitecture #veldarchitects #veldlifestyle #veldhomes #proudlysouthafrican #lovewhatwedo #finesthomes #bespokehomes #exclusiveliving #exclusivehome #letnaturein #livingwithnature #internationaldesignandarchitectureawards2020

Regenerative design strategies [Part 4]: Mass Cust Regenerative design strategies [Part 4]: Mass Customisation – The shift towards Regenerative Architecture is a transition away from the traditional bricks and mortar way of construction to a proactive way of construction – Prostruction – if you will. A “prostruction” mindset asks that architects collaborate with developers, builders, manufacturers and landscape architects to design, build and “dress” buildings that live-up to the regenerative requirements of the natural environment. In “prostruction” developments no two homes can ever be the same because the regenerative requirement of two adjacent homes will be completely unique. In a world where we proactively move away mass production towards mass customisation is nothing other than spectacular! Join the Veld Lifestyle. Make your next home a Veld home.

Regenerative design strategies [Part 3]: Net Zero Regenerative design strategies [Part 3]: Net Zero buildings Regenerative Architecture investigates ways to not only build buildings that leave the environment undisturbed but in fact heals it. It is a quest that world-renowned researchers are busy building prototypes of as we speak. Like using biology and architecture to repair soil and ecosystems and increase biodiversity. Because you see, we’ve already done so much damage to the earth. Simply aiming to leave as little impact as possible when the building was yesterday’s goal. Our aim now should be to create even better conditions. The ultimate goal of a regenerative building is one that is able to function completely on its own. From generating its own energy (Net Zero) and harvesting, cleaning and storing its own water, to processing its own waste (and everything in between). You have to start somewhere, and with the advancements in solar in South Africa, creating a net-zero building that generates and stores its own energy is achievable. At Veld Architects, we not only believe in and apply regenerative architectural design strategies but we also find ways to incorporate them in visually striking ways. Talk to us! Email Gillian@veldarchitects.co.za to find out how your next home can be a Veld home.

What if architects could design a means of living What if architects could design a means of living that allowed us to use the resources we need and then restore those resources. Regenerative architecture is all about thinking ahead, where architects design with the future in mind every step of the way. @saltwater_productions For more information visit our website (link in bio) #veldarchitects #proudlysouthafrican #lovewhatwedo #futurethinkers #regenerativearchitecture #architecture #mindshift #thermalefficiency #smartconstruction #veldlifestyle #exclusiveliving #bespokehomes #letnaturein #InternationalDesignAndArchitectureAwards2020
Regenerative design strategies [Part 2] Thermal Ef Regenerative design strategies [Part 2] Thermal Efficient Construction – Imagine a building that is naturally cool on hot days and naturally warm in winter… A building that doesn’t require any additional heating or cooling thereby directly reducing its impact on the environment…It is possible through implementing thermal efficient construction strategies. Thermal efficient construction isn’t a new concept but the way in which it can be applied is constantly innovating. It encompasses the whole building envelope, creating a building that is more energy-efficient and reduces its mechanical system load. Curtain walls are an excellent example of this. Curtain walls, particularly glass-curtain walls create a thermal barrier between the exterior and interior of the building protecting inhabitants from the weather but also allowing for more natural light and thermally comfortable temperatures. In South Africa’s diverse weather conditions thermal efficiency is a challenge but it is a challenge that Veld Architects is enthusiastic about. We are constantly researching ways to enhance thermal efficiency, and by collaborating with the best engineers and manufacturers in the country (and world) we are able to make this a reality for your home.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

In 2015 we approached Gillian Holl of Veld Architects to help us make our dream home become a reality. We had a clear vision and many reference images to help with the design process. The brief was to build a 500 square meter home that had simple clean lines. We wanted a spacious modern farmhouse style home that was humble but beautiful. That’s exactly what we got.

~ Bronwen & George
 

Veld Architects considered all the aspects of our requirements when designing our house. From the style and design elements to our budget requirements, everything was duly delivered on. Our house is the dream house that only existed in our heads before Veld Architects brought it to life. Veld Architects introduced us to some very unique ideas in the design stage, which have become amazing features in our house.

~ Eve & Paul
 

Veld Architects found a great balance between my husband's minimalist, industrial type taste and my more homely, cosy desires for our home. For a long time, as we dreamed of one day building our own home, we kept a wish-list of requirements and to this day we marvel at how Gillian was able to include them all in our architectural plan.

~ Shannon & Jacques
