The gap between architecture and interior design is, to me, anything but a void. It is an endless stream of possibilities.

Jan Swanepoel, Director

Since graduating in Architecture from the University of Cape Town in 1982, my ongoing pursuit is to find the perfect internal and external shell.

The gap between architecture and interior design is, to me, anything but a void. It is an endless stream of possibilities, a blank canvas on which to reflect the personalities of both the building and its occupants.

After five years as a commercial architect in South Africa, I relocated to the UK in 1987 and moved into interior architecture and design.

Swanepoel Management, later to become Swanepoel Design Ltd, was formed in 1997 providing detailed planning of space and redesign services to UK and international clients.

I take my lead from my passion for clean, modern spaces blended with restrained traditional detailing.

My role is to work through ideas and concepts with my clients, taking the existing architecture and moulding an interior that brings together aesthetics, ambiance and practicality.

The services we offer include a complete transformation, from initial consultation, concept design, detail drawings, obtaining necessary planning approval, competitive tenders and supervision until completion.
