About Urban Signature Architects

Urban Signature Architects is the dynamic amalgamation of two architects and their respective practices. The Johannesburg based company was founded by architects: Miguel Pinto and Steven Sotiriou in 2019. Enriched and extended by their exposure and practice in local, African and European constructs, the practice takes an “eyes wide open” approach. The variance in their background is distilled in a shared design ethos: curious, searching, inspired. They seek to understand, evaluate, synthesize design criteria personally and personably. Available to explorative, immersive, transformative opportunities for architectural exploration. Urban SIgnature is strongly committed to prioritizing/celebrating the African aesthetic, confronting its realities, seeking to deconstruct the diverse, hierarchical carryovers of its past, through transformative, people-centred, contemporary spatial planning. Reflecting on South Africa’s past, engaging the present, and planning for the future.
