Studio

Nick
Wright.

Interior architect with 22 years across some of South Africa's most respected design and architecture practices.

Nick founded The Archi Co. in 2013 after a career that spanned the studios of ARRCC, SAOTA, and Greg Wright Architects — three of the country's most celebrated firms — alongside a formative period in brand and visual design at Saatchi & Saatchi and Hirt & Carter.

That breadth shows in the work. Projects are rigorous in their architecture and considered in every detail — with a visual intelligence most interior practices simply don't have. The Archi Co. is a small, focused studio. Every project is led by Nick directly.

Our Process

How we
work.

Every project follows a considered process — from the first conversation through to final handover. Clear milestones, open communication, and no surprises.

Initial Consultation

We meet to understand your brief, aspirations, budget, and timeline. This is where the relationship begins — and where we determine whether we're the right fit for each other.

Concept & Scope

We develop an initial concept direction and present two design proposals alongside a detailed scope of work and budget estimate for your sign-off.

Design Development

With concept approved, we develop all layouts, material selections, lighting plans, and custom joinery in full detail — refined until every element is resolved.

Technical Documentation

We produce comprehensive technical drawings, specifications, and schedules for all trades — the foundation for accurate tendering and flawless construction.

Construction & Site

We manage contractors and suppliers on site, ensuring the design intent is realised at every stage — from demolition through to final finishes.

Styling & Handover

All furniture, homeware, and accessories are delivered, styled, and signed off. We don't leave until the space is complete — exactly as designed.
