We are a creative, multidisciplinary practice, encompassing Architecture + Interior + Illumination design + Compliance, adhering to the philosophy of “total design” - Ove Arup.

​

From initial discovery of the project brief and the key financial relationships that unlock the value and determine the feasibility of the project, through the ideation phases until a solid concept is revealed, upon which the technical documentation is meticulously crafted before the construction phase of each project commences.

​

We believe architecture and design...

Is a combination of problem solving and storytelling and if done right  has the power to  inform interactions,  shape perceptions and inspire emotion.

​

Sticks & Stones Studio was founded by...

Mia Koster and Daniël Swart, a dynamic duo and partner-

ship that contributes cultivated knowledge & all-rounded skill, having worked at leading architectural firms in both South Africa and Namibia.

 

We have formed strategic partnerships...

Allowing us to design and execute works of varying scale and complexity. We believe that a liveable city is made of inclusively designed spaces. And to build inclusively requires all related stakeholders; investors, architects designers and constructors, to approach the design of any project holistically and reflecting that of our collaborative relationship with nature.

​

Our small, close-knit team...

Allows us to see a project from beginning to completion, working closely with our clients throughout the project journey.

​

This might be our best adventure yet.....

​

We use BIMx throughout our projects to allow clients to have a full understanding and visualization of their project, allowing us to ask and answer questions in advance. This unique technology brings the full scope of Building Information Models into the dynamic touchscreen environment of mobile devices. Integrated, context-sensitive 2D & 3D building project navigation, with smooth transitions, helps even non-professionals find their way in a full BIM project.

​

We invest in immersive technologies to share, investigate, collaborate, and build designs that we can communicate to any audience.
