"I believe every design has something similar to a soul.
"I've always lived in old buildings; when visiting or passing old farmhouses & homes in general I tend to wonder about their history - who lived there & what their experiences were.
"One must be oblivious not to.
"Why then rip out a building's soul to attempt replacing it?
"Rather Restore, Love & Live, Make it a Home."
-Adriaan Schutte

Hear From Clients
I have been working with Adriaan Schutte as a professional consultant for 14 years on a variety of projects, such as tourist centres with accommodation units and workshops, as well as designs of private residences. The interaction with Design 66 was very professional following a strict code of ethics. Their concept designs were well interpreted and developed to meet the client's brief. Presentations with attractive and insightful 3D concepts added to the project experience for the client. Design66 is known for their personal interaction with their clients, open communication, and functional application of construction methods. The company is seen as a true value-add.
Carel Fouché QSDesign 66 is true to their motto: ‘Barefoot Architecture’ Although we wear shoes, the atmosphere working together with the team is relaxed, yet productive and creative from conceptualisation to end-product. Thanks Adriaan, Wihan and Francois. Now on to the build!

I'd like to congratulate Adriaan and his team on the pleasant experience afforded to us through almost a year-long design process of our home. Nothing was too much effort. With us being approximately 1 200 km away, Adriaan did much more than what is normal practice to design a house. In early stages of the process, he arranged site inspections for specialist services, meetings with the local council for what was necessary there, QS quotations and the list goes on. Not often these days do you find someone who's willing to go that extra mile. Adriaan is a true gentleman and professional, he has a calm manner about him which spills over to his staff as well. We will work with him anytime again in the future. We have worked with other companies in this field and half the time it left much to be desired. We wish them all the best .
