As we witness the progress being made on the Shazi Home, we get more & more excited for what's to come. "As an Architect you design for the present, with an awareness of the past, for a future which is essentially unknown" Norman Forster #ubuntudesigngroup #shazihome #homedesign

In this concept design UDG had the task of analysing the existing Masikhule Preschool with the intention of upscaling it through design interventions that would uplift the local community as well as provide dignified childcare facilities that meet the local authority regulations.

The Shazi Home sits complete and absolutely beautiful with its new facade, as you can tell from the smile on Wandile Mthiyane, we are proud of this project and looking forward to more projects like this!

In this design for a Physiotherapy Center for children UDG's concept was to create an environment that felt more like a home than a facility. The aim was to explore an affordable & creative solution for a therapeutic home. A space promoting a sense of dignity for its occupants.

In this reimagined concept design for we envisioned an inclusive space where you could stay or even own a portion of the Hotel that didn't just turn profit but that directly benefited low-income communities by utilizing some of the proceeds to build homes for families in need.

Four years ago, we reimagined our founder’s family home—the place where his mom grew up. At first, we weren’t sure about sharing it since it looked so different from our other projects. But now, we see it for what it is: a return to home, history, and heart. ❤️ #UbuntuHome

We’re all a work in progress—just like this home taking shape. Brick by brick, step by step. 🚧🏡 #BuildingDreams

A few years ago, we reimagined Durban’s Point Waterfront—believing the minimum requirement to dream is a place to call home. Mid-income designer apartments, African art, retail & soul. Would you stay in an Ubuntu Home? 🌍🏡 #AfricanLuxury #UbuntuHome #UrbanRenewal

Someone once said home was her dad—because no matter who she came back as, she was always welcome. That’s the feeling we designed into The Black Prince, our new apt complex near Durban’s South Beach. Big love to 🇵🇱 Bartek Wenta & @WeronikaDenga for leading the way. 🏡🌍✨

Ubuntu Home helps everyday people design, finance, and build their dream homes — without the usual stress, confusion, or exploitation.

We redesigned a crèche for 32 kids in an under-resourced community — and turned it into a Montessori-inspired haven of joy, learning, and dignity. 4 jobs created. 32 families supported. Beauty + belonging at the heart. #UbuntuDesign #ECD #ArchitectureForGood

Economies in a Box: a glimpse into the future of living 🌍 A modular, eco-friendly hub where you can live, work & play—housing, startups, concerts & co-working, all in one. Think Olympic Village meets smart city. Imagine this in Durban… would you live here? #FutureLiving
