Introducing Moralo Designs
About Us
Botswana is experiencing exciting developments; growth and expansion primarily through the wise investment of the fruits of our natural resources. As designers, we are challenged with finding an identity for our buildings, which would speak clearly to Botswana’s architectural heritage as well as announce the arrival of a new, modern industry to the nation.
Our design has an Architectural language which expresses itself in modern materials, building forms and visible technology of our time. The concept of being modern is expressed using materials with sustainable sources. By preserving the scarce source of materials we are facing the challenges of the future in today’s buildings.
In Setswana, ‘go rala’ means to make patterns on clay walls. Traditionally, the work of building houses was that of women. As a female Architect, I have named my practice Moralo Designs which speaks to ‘making patterns with soft earth.’ The art of building, creating intuitive, well-formed spaces with the sand around us.
Design for a Place and People
Design needs to focus on the needs of the end user to ensure that the space is both functional and aesthetically pleasing to a diverse grouping of our society. The design process needs to be collaborative to achieve the right ambitions.
Technology-Led Solutions
Our commitment is to sustainable design that uses modern technology and modern materials in order for our spaces and buildings to be cost effective in the future. Our buildings must leave a light footprint on the earth.
Modern Contemporary Design
We use traditional Tswana design thinking to inspire beautiful, usable, modern spaces that fit perfectly into the culture and climate of Botswana. This creates purposeful and innovative solutions to meet the needs of our community.
