 WELCOME

ARCHITECTURE BUILT ON NARRATIVES

Abon Studio is a Cape Town-based architecture and design practice specialising in luxury coastal residential and hospitality spaces. Rooted in South Africa’s coastal landscapes, particularly in Cape Town, our work is defined by a deep respect for place, thoughtful craftsmanship, and a narrative-driven approach that shapes spaces with meaning.

Our expertise lies in delivering comprehensive, full-service architectural solutions in Cape Town, with tailored offerings extending across South Africa’s coastal regions. From initial concept to project completion, we provide a seamless, highly considered approach. For international projects, we offer bespoke design and concept development, collaborating with trusted local architects to ensure smooth implementation within regional regulatory frameworks.

Every project is an opportunity to create something truly special—spaces that respond to their surroundings, enhance everyday experiences, and stand the test of time. We take pride in our ability to listen, interpret, and design with intention, ensuring each home we create is as unique as the people who live in it.

With a portfolio shaped by thoughtful innovation and a commitment to excellence, we continually refine our approach to create architecture that is both enduring and inspired.
