Here is what some of our clients have to say

MDWABA RESIDENCE

‘ It has been a great pleasure, and continues to be that way, as we progress nicely with one of the most important projects working with Meik Architects’.  A company that was born out of passion for making and the ideal that architecture is still a craft rather than a mass produced item. This passion for the craft, displayed by Nadine and her team, is palpable. Right from the very first briefing meeting Nadine listened carefully to our requirements, and worked with us to create a plan that was our own. Even though she has the experience, she listened with keen interest to what we had in mind and interpreted that into an architectural masterpiece. This all resulted in us trusting Nadine with our dream home. We almost gave her carte blanche with making recommendations on a team of service providers that would bring the dream to reality.Nadine is not just an Architect, she continues to give us comfort, and she always has our best interests at heart.She has amazing attention in detailing, does her investigations carefully to ensure quality is in line with everything we are doing. Aesthetics, and most importantly price points that make sense.We are looking forward to the finished product, and Nadine is definitely one of the key people that will make this possible.Thanks’ Read more

HOUSE GP

‘A special and warm thank you to our chosen and appointed ‘Meik Architect’ on the professional manner in which the design of our home at Monaghan Farm was orchestrated. The moment we met Nadine Naidoo from Meik, there was an instant connection; despite her intense sense of professionalism’,  Nadine got to know us and endeavoured to understand our design focus, so as to be able to design a fabulous home, that in many ways, is our personalities in ‘physical form’.Meik Architects/Nadine Naidoo’s personalised and professional service we can and will, gladly recommend to all who seek it.Thank you Nadine for designing us a home that we love to live in. You gave new meaning to the phrase “There’s no place like home” Read more

JOUBERT RESIDENCE

‘As first time home builders, we found the relationship with MEIK to be invaluable.  Besides loving the design of our home, we really enjoyed the personalized service and attention we were given’.  MEIK’s guidance from the design phase right through to the end of the build made all the difference and certainly played a large role in ensuring a successful build, and an enjoyable experience all round. We highly recommend MEIK’s architectural services, and would not hesitate to partner with MEIK again on future builds! Read more
