MEET THE ARCHITECT
Hi, I'm Thorsten Deckler!
I’m an architect and avid sketcher of all things wonderful.
Sketching is my way to practice mindfulness and develop thoughtful solutions.
But after spending 20+ years in the design and construction industry, I grew tired of the mindless way it’s run - people rushing into projects only to end up in chaos and not getting what they want.
During COVID, I transformed my business into Africa’s first Mindful Design practice, and created a process that helps people gain clarity BEFORE they design or build.
The Mindful Design Approach has saved people millions. But it also helps people avoid the stress and disappointment of a project gone wrong.
Building is complicated and expensive, and I don’t promise a miracle solution. But I do offer a calm and structured way of doing things - to help you make decisions that boost (and not destroy) your financial, mental, and physical health.
Our clients love this process, and so do we. Since working this way, I love being an architect again and am sketching more than ever!
