'We are currently busy implementing some phases at Somerset Lakes in Somerset West, where we have the opportunity to explore our specific design philosophy regarding multiproduct estates to integrate various cost points seamlessly into its fabric. At Somerset Lakes we introduced elements that have never been implemented at this price point by understanding and manipulating the budgetary allocations though thorough planning and material selections. This project involved the planning of 550 units across a wide spectrum to date.’  Schabort says: Our team is aware and they understand the value of money and how to optimise value for our clients normally only found on big-budget projects. We focus on crafting a tailor-made solution that will serve the specific requirements of the client and the majority of successive owners by overlaying a multitude of future case studies to test the desirability of the product." ‘Our practice identified the need to integrate associated services to our clients including conceptual landscaping design as well as interior design services to assure that the end product is in keeping with the overall vison of both architect and client.’  schabortassociates.co.za www.estate-living.co.za | 39
