The top trends in architecture

With the world of architecture evolving at a rapid pace the future seems too bright. From the advancement of sustainable design to the incorporation of cutting edge technology, there is hope for the future. There are a few top trends that we as Hluma Projects-Architects would like to watch for in the year of 2025.

The first top trend is sustainable design. This is the right time to prioritise sustainable designs due to the increasing focus on environmental issues. For example, wild fires in the United State of America that burnt down houses in Los Angeles, only brick and concrete walls survived. Also, the floods that happened in most of the southern parts of Africa were horrible. So this should be a wake up call.

Another top trend is urban planning. The cities are now flooded with high influx of people and becoming more dense, this then leaves the architects with the challenge of coming up with a more holistic approach for affordable accommodation and urban planning. Designing buildings and neighborhoods that prioritise walkability, public transit and green spaces as well as technology integration.

Our team will work with you every step of the way, from initial design to project management and execution, ensuring that your renovation project is a success.

Before attempting to renovate your home, one must follow certain steps that will determine if your project will be a success or not. Firstly, we need to realistic about what you can afford. This simply means revisit your financial situations which includes; income, debts, savings, as well as potential return on investment of the renovation (if you are renovating for rentals). Secondly, one should then make a detailed budget not forgetting a contingency fund for unexpected costs. For example, a contractor sometimes miscalculate or forget certain costs for example, forgetting paints for the cupboard. Hence why it is important to find the right contractor, this is where our project managers get in. They usually send out tender invitations to the construction companies they trust and have worked with.

During the course of renovation process Hluma projects advices that the client track their spending. As much as payments pass by the project manager it is important that the client records so when the project is done they know if they stayed within budget, exceeded or even went below budget. We are Hluma projects and we are here to do all the architectural works, space planning, project management as well as 3Ds.

Architectural design and project management play crucial roles in the development of infrastructure and buildings in Eswatini, contributing to the country’s economic growth and cultural identity.

Architectural designs are vital as they ensure that structures are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and sustainable. In Eswatini, where the landscape and cultural heritage are unique, thoughtful architectural practices can help integrate modern designs with traditional elements, promoting a sense of place and community. Sustainable architecture is particularly important in addressing environmental challenges, as it focuses on energy efficiency and the use of local materials, which can help reduce costs and boost local economies.

Project management is equally essential in ensuring that construction projects are completed on time and within budget. Effective project management involves meticulous planning, resource allocation, risk assessment, and communication among stakeholders. In a developing country like Eswatini, where resources may be limited, efficient project management can optimize these resources and enhance productivity. It ensures that projects meet regulatory standards, adhere to timelines, and fulfill the desired quality.

Together, architectural design and project management contribute to the overall quality of life in Eswatini by creating functional spaces that reflect the nation’s identity while encouraging economic development through well-planned infrastructure projects. These elements are fundamental for building resilient communities that can adapt to future challenges.

I write to express my admiration for our work as Hluma Projects-Architects, a leading architecture firm in Eswatini that has been pioneering sustainable designs and green building practices.

The power of nature in architecture: Hluma projects' natural approach to design

 At Hluma projects we recognise the profound impact that nature can have on human experience. 

We believe by harmonizing our designs with the natural world, we can create spaces that are not only visually stunning but also contribute to the well- being and health of their inhabitants.

One way we achieve this balance Is through biophilic design, which integrates natural elements into the built environment. By incorporating plants, water features, and natural, we can bring the benefits of nature indoors, from improved air quality to reduced stress and anxiety.

Our commitment to biophilic design is reflected in many of our projects, from roof tops gardens and vertical green walls to sustainable building techniques that reduce our carbon foot prints. #Hlumaprojects.

Join us as we explore the limitless possibilities of nature inspired design and reimagine the built environment as a place of harmony, health beauty and peace.
