Who we are
Established in 2022 by Bartjan Hooft, rabble lab is a fresh venture dedicated to achieving net-zero, sustainable contemporary architecture inspired by nature in eSwatini, South Africa, and expanding to Portugal. With a collective experience of over two decades in both architecture and construction, the founder and the team embody our motto 'we are the designer, we are the builder' with unrivaled expertise.
rabble lab is committed to breathing life into exquisite spaces through intricate sustainable concepts that cleverly combine materials in a creative manner. Our core strength lies in unwavering persistence and dedication to shepherding a project from its inception to its successful conclusion. We firmly believe that exceptional edifices stem from cohesive teams, emphasizing the crucial role each member plays. Meticulous attention to detail and a strong emphasis on presentation are instrumental in realizing our set objectives. Our ethos revolves around a harmonious blend of traditional practices with innovative sustainable building techniques. Bartjan Hooft is a certified Professional Architect under the South African Council for the Architectural Profession (SACAP) since 2014, actively engaged in projects across eSwatini, South Africa, and soon Portugal.
