V1 Architects is a boutique architectural studio founded by Vone Labuschagne, a professionally registered South African architect with a passion for creating spaces that feel grounded, functional and beautifully intentional.
Our work is guided by clarity, precision and a deep respect for how people live, work and experience the spaces around them.
At V1 Architects, design is not just an output - it’s a process of curiosity, listening and translating vision into built form.
V1 Architects grew from the evolution of a familiar name – Vista Digital – into a fully established architectural practice built on experience, integrity and refined design thinking.
After earning a Master’s Degree in Architecture from the University of the Free State, Vone broadened her global perspective teaching in Madrid, Spain, before returning to South Africa to complete her candidateship and later join TJ Architects as a Professional Architect.
With extensive experience across residential and commercial design, Vone has built a practice known for calm communication, meticulous documentation and designs that balance beauty with everyday practicality.
Today, V1 Architects represents a clearer, stronger identity – but with the same personal service clients have trusted for years.
We begin with a site visit and a clear client brief, identifying your needs, vision, lifestyle requirements, budget and the unique opportunities of the site.
Your concept is shaped into a cohesive architectural design - from initial sketches to refined plans, materials and spatial layouts.
We handle municipal submissions and prepare all technical construction documentation to ensure your project is compliant, coordinated and ready for building.
During construction, we assist with contract administration, monitor progress, and ensure the final build reflects the approved design with accuracy and quality.
