Rautenbach Urban Green Architecture is a multi-disciplined design studio and architecture firm with an inspiring team of professional qualified architects based in Midrand, Gauteng, operating throughout Southern Africa.

Our designs are encouraged by applying energy efficient building solutions and “green” building principles, with the use of recycled materials as well as materials with a low environmental impact. Integrating creativity with commerce is what we consider at RUGA, ensuring we think about the ‘why’ and not just the ‘what’ and ‘how’.

Our expertise lies in residential spaces, lodges and selective commercial work that falls into our design philosophy.

Revealed correctly, design can add remarkable value to customers and businesses alike.
