Great spaces don’t just happen – they are designed. We respond to spaces, live our lives in spaces, find joy in spaces. Spaces add to our experiences. That is the purpose of good design: to add value in the experience. Modh Design offers architectural services across the globe, but we are located in Wellington, Western Cape, close to Paarl, Stellenbosch and Cape Town.

Do you also miss the hustle and bustle of your favourite coffee shop?
Keep the dream alive – life will return back to normal. Here are our tips for a great bar area:
• Theme: make sure your concept is visualized and drawn through the interior. We love this clever use of RAW and working with unfinished concrete to draw a parallel.
• Lighting: what type of lights you choose, position and the atmosphere it creates is crucial.
• Focus elements: use all surfaces to pull your concept through. Remember there is 3 planes – wall, floor and ceiling.

This reception just says, ‘Welcome in!’
We used open trusses to create an atmosphere of hospitality allowing for a cheerful space. The creative use of ‘cat balls’ for luminaires draws attention to the waiting area and creates a welcoming area. We loved partnering with a creative interior designer @oooh and we had a fantastic construction team @energymasterbuilders.

We’re inspired by this article for a beautiful and practical learning centre.
We need more spaces like this in South Africa! "It is important to have this multi-programmatic approach to make the library a popular place, since reading alone is not yet considered a fun activity in the country," explained architects Florian Heinzelmann and Daliana Suryawinata.

Your bedroom is a sacred room to recoup and rest.

Your bedroom is a sacred room to recoup and rest. What makes a beautiful room?
1. Lighting
Play with a statement light element in the room or what about practical reading lights positioned on the wall.
2. Natural lighting & ventilation
Your bedroom window needs to be positioned correctly as to give the best light right through the year and allow for lovely breeze to fill the space.
3. Wow interior elements
Paint a focus wall. Use peaceful colours and play with wall coverings. We love partnering with interior designers like @oooh to give a project the wow factor.

Ample natural light and transparency in the workspace is what we aimed to achieve with the heart of the Wellington Animal Hospital. The medical team needs to have a clear mind and focus on the difficult task at hand. Good lighting and a tranquil space help the team to focus on what’s important.

Is your kitchen dull? Here’s a few great tips for the WOW factor:
• Showcase island – position, size and finish will make all the difference.
