Nieuw Architects is a design-centric architectural practice based in Cape Town, working locally and internationally across a diverse range of projects. Our experience spans multiple sectors including residential, hospitality, commercial, healthcare, public transport, industrial and film studio developments.

Led by partners Jankel Nieuwoudt and Thomas van Deventer, bringing decades of combined professional experience, our team is driven by a shared passion for architecture that is intelligent, innovative and carefully considered.

Each project begins with curiosity and enthusiasm. We explore architectural typologies, spatial relationships, materiality and construction technologies to develop solutions that respond meaningfully to both client and context.

Our approach merges rigorous conceptual thinking with strong technical delivery. By leveraging advanced Building Information Modelling (BIM), sustainable construction methodologies and a practical understanding of the property market, we translate complex ideas into clear, compelling concepts and buildable outcomes.

We create buildings and spaces that last — architecture shaped by vision,  integrity and a commitment to our craft.
