rabble lab embodies a fusion of diverse experiences, stemming from a background in building with an NGO in South African townships, advancing to tailor-made private commissions reflecting specific client desires, and culminating in a role as a director at the esteemed East Coast Architects. The closure of this award-winning practice led to the inception of rabble lab, where the journey itself defines the destination. The name is derived from 'raw architecture budget building low energy,' an acronym coined by a former colleague from the 'raw foundation' days — a moniker that has endured over the years. rabble lab signifies the culmination of past endeavors, shaping its identity and purpose today.
