Seru Architects, founded in 2012, is an architecture and property development firm with expertise in residential apartment buildings, and office and educational buildings. Committed to green buildings, we strive in filling the gap between architecture and green buildings by embedding the correct principles into all our designs from the outset. Good decision-making helps us avoid costly compensation at a later stage, during the documentation phase, construction phase, or worse – after occupation.
Directorship
Lomile Mokoka, the founder and director of Seru Architects is a highly qualified professional architect, with extensive experience in the construction industry. She is a sustainability consultant with Green Star Accreditation from the Green Building Council of South Africa, and recently also entered the property development field.

Her passion for protecting the environment has made her determined to produce sustainable architecture by providing innovative solutions and strategies for creating environmentally friendly accommodations for living and working.
Our Values
We believe that architecture and environmental sustainability are not mutually exclusive and that is why we believe that architecture has a responsibility to be sensitive to the environment.
Therefore, our key goal is to create innovative solutions that push the boundaries in bringing about environmentally responsible architecture.
Our Mission
We strive to create healthy, sustainable, and beautiful environments through innovation, creativity, and facilitating a paradigm shift in our society.
A paradigm shift within society will lessen the impact on our environment and make the earth a safer place for future generations.
Our Practice
Architecture that demonstrates responsible practices towards the environment is one of the key elements that will inform society and engage us all in the agenda of environmental sustainability.
