Bam Architects has its offices in Cape Town from where it works nationally providing full architecture, master

planning and restoration services for the public and private sectors. Since 1992 we have enthusiastically delivered
successful imaginative solutions for a wide range of clients.

We are driven by a philosophy of unique solutions for each individual project,


which is intimately connected to context and function, rather than
predetermined stylistic ideologies.

The work of Bam Architects is based upon a solid foundation of design excellence, budget and program control.
The practice continuously makes the business case for good design. It looks beyond the ordinary to produce
architecture that not only meets clients' needs but also exceeds their expectations.

Working directly with his team of creative and technical experts, Chris Bam is actively involved in
the design documentation and supervision of each project through planning, construction and
completion.

We believe that high quality design results from the continuity of the design
process and intensive dialogue with the client, professional team,
contractors and end users.

Exceptional Service
Cutting Edge Creativity
