URBANEST
A Hub for Creativity

URBANEST ARCHITECTS is a dynamic architectural practice comprising two studios located in the vibrant Cape Town suburb of Observatory, and the restful Overberg town of Stanford. Whether bespoke housing, commercial work, urban regeneration, hospitality, light industrial or public institutions, our focused, attentive design approach yields excellent results.
Urbanest Architects was established by Minette Bell, a veteran architect and passionate designer with more than 35 years of industry experience. A dynamic team of professional architects and designers compliment the studio and share a similarly-dedicated approach to their craft. Our aim is to provide an excellent service in generating honest, timeless and contextually-appropriate architecture.
