Urban design has been part of dhk's DNA for more than 20 years. This has fundamentally shaped our design philosophy. The urban design team’s work is crucial: it informs how buildings and spaces interact and lays the foundation for how those spaces are used. It leads the design of a building, rather than being a belated add-on once the building concept has been defined. As one of the largest design practices in Africa, dhk works across a range of disciplines and scales. With a steadfast commitment to design excellence, our team is incredibly curious, passionate and research-orientated. We are a harmonious, happy studio and operate in an environment that ensures our best talent can thrive. Our strong and dynamic team is the foundation of our success. We are always looking for ambitious and talented individuals to join us, working on significant new projects locally and internationally.
