Piet Dekker Architects Overview
Piet Dekker Architects is a boutique architecture firm in the historic town of Stellenbosch. Although our main offices are in this area, our architecture projects are all over the vast Cape Town region. This includes architectural designs in the Cape Boland, Cape Winelands, Franschhoek, Paarl Val de Vie, The Karoo, The Garden Route, Graaff-Reinet and our very own Stellenbosch.
Contemporary style blended with various traditional elements is predominantly found in most of our home and commercial designs. This South African modern architecture approach is part of what sets us apart from other Cape Town home architects.
Piet Dekker Architects’ unique selling point in a sense, is our hands-on approach, 30 years of architecture designing experience and a distinct focus on sustainable and eco-friendly housing.
Sustainable Buildings
Sustainability is a vital factor in preserving our proud South African landscape and heritage. Piet Dekker cares for the environment by not only using sustainable building materials but also utilising them in a creative and complementary manner. An example is natural stone combined with refined wood to create a modern yet organic architectural feel. We follow all building regulations in South Africa using cost-effective building methods to make your house a masterpiece.
Piet Dekker, personally involved in all projects, has a niche for heritage architecture. This means that he enjoys restoring South African buildings of historical and cultural importance.
All projects are also built with an eco-friendly atmosphere in mind, making use of lots of natural integration with the actual building. Multiple trees, bushes and other greenery are blended with the design to provide a fresh ambience. Our Eco-friendly architecture is the core of our boutique architecture firm.
It might be the core, but the foundation is what architects are all about. Sketches!
Architecture Sketches
To put it simply, architectural sketches or drawings are the foundation, the framework on which every house is conceptualised.
Our exclusive and innovative design approach combines meticulous hand-drawn designs with advanced technology, including 3D software, to create visually appealing architectural designs and house floor plans tailored to each client’s needs and desires.
Piet Dekker, our founder and main architect, is at the heart of our success. With over 30 years of architecture experience, Piet’s dedication to each project is distinctive. He is personally involved from the initial conceptualisation to the final unveiling. At Piet Dekker Architects, our hands-on approach is not just a principle but the cornerstone of our architectural firm’s craft.

Piet Dekker’s Types Of Architecture Buildings
As how you cannot limit the innovation of man, you cannot limit the number of architectural building types that exist. Piet Dekker Architects mainly focuses on three distinct building types Residential, Commercial and Apartment architecture builds in Cape Town and the surrounding areas.
Let’s dive right into the first speciality. Residential Architecture!
Piet Dekker Architects | Residential Architecture
Our residential projects are more than just plain houses, they are top-end masterpiece homes, designed to your every need in a sustainable way. Piet Dekker Architects boasts large easy-living houses.
The business of life can catch up to us so easily. This is why most of our homes are exclusively designed to serve as a natural escape from the chaos of work. Open-plan yet cosy, traditional yet modern, our homes are uniquely designed for your relaxation.
Do architects only plan the exterior design of their architecture builds? Not Piet Dekker! We consider every detail inside and out. Although we are not interior decorators, we still value interior design in terms of house planning, layout and even the colours and textures used inside the homes.
Home planning is what we are all about. Sometimes Piet Dekker puts sliding doors leading to a central garden, other times he adds an open-plan living area with light colours to accentuate a joyous atmosphere. From conception to final building, Piet Dekker Architects aims to change the misconception that architects have no part to play in house interior design.
Currently, Piet Dekker Architects showcases a handful of distinctive Residential Architecture homes in Cape Town, Franschhoek, Stellenbosch, Cape Boland, the Cape Winelands, Val de Vie, the Garden Route, the Karoo and Graaff-Reinet respectively.
They are:
- Wineland Home
- Pinot Home
- Richter Home
- Rodseth Home
- Koster Home
- Bergview Home
- Erasmus-Louw Home

Piet Dekker Architects | Commercial Architecture
Most architects have only one building design speciality, such as Residential Architecture, Commercial Architecture, Apartment Architecture, Skyscraper Architecture etc.
Piet Dekker Architects focuses on multiple different types of architecture building design. Commercial Architecture is one of the main types.
Commercial Architecture can be defined as the practice of designing buildings which are specifically suited to a commercial / business environment. Typically, the intention of the building can be clearly seen in the architectural design such as floor-to-ceiling glass windows for office buildings.
Piet Dekker Architects showcases six unique Commercial Architecture buildings each with their specific business purpose. Piet Dekker has personally designed multiple Commercial Architecture projects in the past.
They are:
Because Commercial Architecture planning is one of Piet Dekker’s main focuses, we put significant effort and development into it, to give our Commercial clients in Cape Town the best custom fit and sustainable buildings in the area. Piet Dekker Architects considers every client/company’s specific wants and needs meticulously.
The last but not least type of architectural building that Piet Dekker Architects concentrates on is Apartment Architecture.

Apartments form a vital part of South Africa’s accommodation section, especially because of an apartment block’s high return on investment rate.
Apartment Architecture is one of Piet Dekker Architects’ core strengths. We feature five distinct apartment block designs tailored to the client’s exact requirements with our own added eco-friendly touch to this architectural building type.
The five distinct Apartment Architecture projects are listed below:
All of the above architecture designs are laid out to be convenient living spaces that stray away from boring one-colour brick or plaster apartment buildings.
