About the practice

51 architecture is an award winning architecture practice founded by Peter Thomas and Catherine du Toit. Our work spans a variety of scales and countries, working and collaborating with diverse groups including private individuals, charities, artists and communities. A holistic design philosophy balances crafted, functional detailing with the wider needs of our clients. Design begins with contextual research and we explore architectural opportunities through drawing, model making and continued interaction with a building’s prospective users and stakeholders. As stewards of the natural environment and our client’s resources, we are committed to creating thoughtful and sustainable building solutions. 51 architecture delivers projects that are beautiful, efficient and fit for purpose.
