OLSA Designs, Botswana

The Architectural Design Firm

OLSA plays an integral and indispensable part in the collective creative process in Gaborone and beyond, not only in the built environment but also the un-built. One of the firm’s stronghold is in its unique and dynamic approach to design, play of shapes, imaginative forms and colors both in interiors and architectural works aimed at giving its clients unique solutions and identity. With a primary focus on architectural design, projects have also been undertaken which deal with planning, interiors, and design aspects related to the architectural process. Inherent in aspirations at OLSA is the strong believe in bringing forth creativity at every forum of life regardless of constraints. As is evident in the portfolio of both built and proposed work, design is primary to the office. OLSA truly believes that lives can be positively affected by design, and that the task of architecture is to have this effect upon people. We believe that where creativity lacks, life stalls. Spaces must inspire, engage, and motivate its users as well as the greater community.

 

Olsa Design Philosophy

OLSA questions dogmatic strictures and conventional assumptions, favoring a careful consideration of light, material, and detail specific to the nature of each project.

 

At the onset of every project, the process begins with understanding our clients’ goals and objectives. Familiarity with your vision is priceless.

 

Our design team has the talent to transform a single idea into the type of environment that makes a lasting impression. In fact, each environment we design is completely unique.

 

For those who are unsure where to start, our designers are also able to provide valuable inspiration to set your project into motion.

 

Nature plays an integral role in our design philosophy.

 

The principal architect and designer Mr Mulema Aggrey (B.Arch) has vast and extensive experience having worked in several leading architectural and interior design firms in Botswana and Kenya. He firmly believes that creativity at its best brings forth sustainable solutions to every aspect of life. Life is to be celebrated, and with great and liberating spaces and built forms.

 

The firm’s client base, past and present encompasses corporate world, institutions, industrial and individuals.
