“Thorsten gave us the clarity we needed to turn our new house into an open, minimalist, but luxurious space for our family. Knowing what is possible was a huge weight off our shoulders, and gave us a solid plan to proceed with the project.”

The Problem with the Building Industry
Building is complex and expensive, and a lot can go wrong. Research shows that 85% of all building projects end up over budget. The consequence is poor quality, compromised property values and earnings, lower productivity, and lower levels of physical and mental well-being.
The #1 reason for projects going over budget is poor planning. People rush into the design phase of a project without doing proper research.
The Solution
Our Mindful Design Approach helps you make better decisions. Mindfulness is about paying full attention and being aware. It is the opposite of rushing and multi-tasking. Being Mindful is about slowing down, asking the right questions, and having someone who hears you.
Building or renovating a home is super challenging. We don’t have a miracle solution. HOWEVER, we do offer a calm and structured process to help you get what you want without the pain and chaos. The On-Site Strategy Session is the first step.
The On-Site Strategy Session is your first step towards clarity. It’s a small investment with a massive return.
Once you book the Strategy Session, you will:
✓ Receive the Project Planning Pack to help you prepare.
After the On-Site Strategy Session you will:
✓ Have answers to your most pressing questions.
✓ Have clearly defined possibilities on how to create a home that improves your quality of life.
✓ Identify the biggest red flags, before they cost you lots of money.
✓ Identify the positive characteristics of your site, so they can be harnessed to create something special.
Fill in the form, and we’ll call you back within 24hrs. But before you do, please note:
We only offer a few Strategy Sessions each month. We focus on “The Parks” because they are close to our studio and allow us to help more people realize the value these neighbourhoods offer.
If you are not located in “The Parks” or in Johannesburg, but would like to work with us, please make a note in the form. We do sometimes work beyond Joburg and South Africa, if it’s a fit.
MEET THE ARCHITECT
Hi, I'm Thorsten Deckler!
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 frustration.
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 (and me!) avoid the stress and disappointment of a project gone wrong.
Building is complicated and expensive, and I don’t promise a miracle. But I do have a process 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, helping people make more mindful decisions when it comes to building.
