  • Ek wil net baie dankie sê vir die mooi projek, ek is baie tevrede.

    - Hélize van Wyk (2025)

  • Raymond Smith masterfully managed our huge renovation project of a heritage house in Franschhoek. Fantastic work, great ideas, no delays, great communication.

    - Philippe Vinee (2025)

  • It was great using an architect with more than 20 years experience living in Betty’s Bay. We appreciated his years of experience with costing, practicality and creative design. The end product exceeds our expectations.

    - Marius Snel (2025)

  • The integrity, knowledge, insight and experience in capturing the language and feeling for the project is what Raymond and his team brought to us in changing a 60 year old property. The simplicity in bringing to the fore the old materials and new, complimenting the light and spaces. This made for a positive creative experience! Thank you Raymond Smith.

    - Gerry Brynard (2024)

  • Practically-minded, a great knowledge of the area, it’s idiosyncrasies and local conditions (which is important if you’re building in the Overberg region). Raymond is a pleasure to work with, and I’d highly recommend his services.

    - Julius Oosthuizen (2024)

  • We had a great experience working with Raymond on our large extension to our house in Betty’s Bay. We loved his design ideas. He took control of the whole project, making it a pleasant and exciting experience. Raymond comes highly recommended.

    - Salomé Horn – neé Roux (2023)

  • I am bowled over. You have addressed all the issues and turned negatives into positives.

    - Martin Muller (2022)

  • We have had many positive comments about the ‘new’ Stoney Ridge. Thank you for the hard work.

    - Graham Wells (2019)

  • With his tactful use of candor, he will give you frank answers to all your questions – design, cost-related or otherwise. Because we were not in the country to monitor the progress of our home being built, Raymond monitored site progress for us by way of weekly site visits, and bi-weekly meetings, minutes and photos. We put a lot of faith and trust in Raymond; and he simply exceeded our expectations exponentially. We feel truly lucky to have worked with him. Raymond applies his intellect and wealth of expertise to construct the plans to make your dream house come true. Because of Raymond's delightful personality, and how thorough and wise he is, it made our home building experience extremely memorable and pleasant. We highly recommend him!

    - Esther and Divan Augustyn (2017)

  • You took an ugly old tart into your heart, and nurtured and loved her. With sympathy and an artist's hand, you turned her into a funky, modern baby-boomer with 'gees'. We love her, and thank you for being such a professional team, and a joy to work with.

    - Ivonne Troskie (2018)

  • Raymond Smith assisted us with an adaptive re-use project at Brigadoon Village in Betty’s Bay. His input was extremely valuable and he went to great lengths to ensure that all options were researched and suppliers well informed as to our specific needs. We will definitely make use of his expertise as we develop future phases of our Dementia Village.

    - JC Hanekom (2017)

  • Ons is beindruk met die konsep omrede dit streng beperkinge moes oorkom het om aan ons behoeftes te voldoen.

    - Gerhard Fritz (2016)

  • My first sighting of the design took me by surprise. Raymond did not follow the expected but put thought into the flow of the living space and natural contour of the land which has provided maximum use of the space while optimizing privacy. The exterior aesthetic is contemporary whilst respecting the village heritage feel.

    - House Leiwater (2017)
