Lines Through Time | 1945 - 2025
2025 marks the eightieth anniversary of GLH Architects, a Johannesburg-based architectural firm whose longevity and enduring legacy place it amongst a handful of firms in the South African context to have survived the vicissitudes of shifting political regimes, economic downturns, urban transformation and profound societal shifts. Over the course of eighty years GLH has established itself as one of the foremost South African architectural firms, each decade being characterised by a number of landmark buildings and projects that serve as important markers of the social, cultural and political contexts in which they were produced.
The arts
We believe architecture and art are inseparable. Collaboration with some of South Africa’s leading artists is central to our practice, embedding art within architecture in meaningful and lasting ways. Through our continued support of the SAFFCA residency, we invest in emerging local talent and cultivate an ongoing dialogue between art, space and community.
