Charity

At RISE Design Studio we’re keen to donate our expertise, time, experience and creativity to a worthy cause. If you’ve got a proposal you’d like to discuss with us, please get in touch - we’re attentive listeners. Our past clients have included Shelter – the housing and homelessness charity. Currently we are actively working with  The Lexi Cinema  – the charity The Lexi supports is The Sustainability Institute, a pioneering sustainable living and learning centre based in rural Stellenbosch, South Africa. We are driven by a desire to help underprivileged people in our community.

If you have any queries on the proposals please get in touch, we'd be happy to send more information or respond to questions.

Testimonials - Sally Wilton

Founder Of Lexi Cinema

When The Lexi Cinema needed to renovate, we sought an architectural firm that shared our values of sustainability, community, and creating spaces that inspire. RISE Design Studio exceeded expectations, transforming our charity cinema with an elegant, eco-friendly design that nurtures the cinematic experience and our community ethos. We wholeheartedly recommend RISE to any cinema seeking exceptional, ethical architecture.

Where Innovation Meets Imagination

We Would Love To Hear More About Your Project Brief.
Request a Consultation Today — Let’s Bring Your Ideas to Life.

At RISE, we believe architecture is more than just buildings — it’s about people, places, and purpose. Whether you're looking to transform a home, create a space that supports wellbeing, or build something completely new, every design journey with us begins with listening.

Your consultation is a chance to tell us what matters to you — your lifestyle, your aspirations, your values — so we can translate them into thoughtful, sustainable architecture.

Our experienced team works across homes, cultural spaces, commercial projects and retrofit transformations. We specialise in low-energy design, natural materials and innovative 3D technology to help you see and feel your space before it's built.

This form is your first step. Once submitted, we’ll review your brief and be in touch to arrange a no-obligation call where we’ll share our initial thoughts, discuss next steps, and answer any questions you may have.

We can’t wait to hear more.
