WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US:

“Marvin Farr is a smart, creative architect that delivers.  He has transformed my villa in Cape Town over several phases into a unique, warm and welcoming home with many magical touches.  We have worked together on a game farm project in Limpopo and I look forward to working with Marvin on my summerhouse in the Stockholm Archipelago.  Always dependable, I recommend him highly.”  – Preston Haskell

Over the last years, we have worked on three upmarket residential homes with Marvin Farr Architects, all with very pleasing results.  One home was a partial renovation/facelift, the other a more substantial renovation, and the third house a complete rebuild – quite different projects with different challenges.  In all three cases, we found that Marvin not only understood our needs, but added very good value with his flair for contemporary design and excellent understanding of the flow and experience of spaces created. We found him down to earth & reliable, and have no reservation in recommending him as an excellent architect who pays close attention to the details.” – Casey & Judith Augoustides

“We hired Marvin Farr for alterations and extensions to our home and were very satisfied with the level of professional service he provided, his creativity and his dedication to finding the best feasible design solutions for complex tasks.  Marvin is a very friendly and reliable person to work with.  He is client focused and showed an utmost level of flexibility during all phases of the remodeling.  One can see and feel that he has a real passion for architecture and interiors.” – Rene & Henriette G
