Intsika Architects cc was formed in March 2003, with the express purpose of furthering the goals of transformation in the industry by way of a strategic BBBEE partnership with a level 2 status.

The founding partners subsequently split up in 2007, and the firm has shown year on year financial growth in turnover since inception. In 2014 a second partner, Cobus Gouws, joined Rob in the business, and we are excited about our future as a practice under the guidance of these gentlemen.

The firm is committed to making a positive impact on the built environment, through attention to detail and building analysis of the planned project prior to implementation, to the benefit of our broader community.
