“I would recommend Marielise to anyone!!! In a nutshell my experience was as follows:
Twice Marielise has designed my dream home. A beautiful New York Style Apartment and a Neo-Classical Trianon. Marielise’ greatest attribute is understanding your vision and being able to translate that into exactly what you want, but better. Her designs are functional and beautiful and her attention to detail guarantees that there is continuity with the theme ensuring a stunning classical home that you want to live in forever!”

“Many building projects result in unnecessary stress and aggravation. Not only did Marielise ensure that our renovation was completed on time, but she also kept it within budget – with no overruns, and, 5 years later, with absolutely no subsequent structural or quality problems. More important than this is the fact that she completely transformed the aesthetics of our house: from a boring Tuscan-type creation, to a modern home that we can feel proud of. She improved its flow, and its comfort levels: the house used to be hot in summer, and freezing in winter. Now we hardly need air conditioners or heating – it is comfortable year round. Marielise has impeccable style, and she brought her aesthetic judgement and practical advice to our house and thereby ensured that our art collection is shown to its best advantage – a magical transformation!”

“From the first meeting it was evident that Marielise’s capacity and talent far exceeded any other architect we have ever worked with. We have been continually impressed by her attention to detail, follow through, commitment (even over continents) and most amazing ability to balance what we wanted and the council instructed, with incredible design.
Over the years it has been an absolute pleasure to work with Marielise. She has spoiled us forever with her professional and committed way of managing the renovation – to such an extent that we did not feel the pressure or stress of a building project. Marielise van der Merwe definitely gets our highest recommendation.”
