The Mellet & Human Architects story:
Our dedicated design team; André Mellet and Willem Human both graduated in 1991 at the University of Pretoria.
Since Mellet & Human Architects’ establishment in 2000, numerous successfully completed projects and happy clients bear testimony to our love for architecture.
Our small team ensures that each client and project is treated individually on a personal level. Each design process and result is unique.
For the last few years our in-house assistant, a Labradoodle named Rex, keeps an eye on office productivity, while stealing the hearts of many clients.
Mellet & Human Architects celebrates more than 25 years of design. We are grateful for the support of our clients, many of whom return to us repeatedly to entrust us with their dream projects.
The future holds endless possibilities—and we’re excited to bring distinctive architectural visions to life with new clients.
