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.

Start Smart: Why Feasibility is the First Steps That Matters
A hand-drawn architectural sketch illustrating passive design strategies for a sustainable building. The drawing includes annotations highlighting key features such as MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) intake and extract, overhangs to reduce heat gain from the summer sun, and fins or slot openings for framing views while minimizing overheating from the setting sun. Arrows indicate the paths of winter sun and summer shading, demonstrating solar gain control. The sketch also highlights a sheltered outdoor space for protection against inclement weather and a connection to nature through large openings. The background consists of loosely sketched trees and vegetation, situating the building within a natural landscape.
