About
Founded in 2025 by architects Thomas Chapman and Daniel Trollip, Trollip Chapman Architecture is a South African practice with offices in Cape Town and Johannesburg. The studio develops architectural and urban projects across Sub-Saharan Africa, including educational and civic facilities, housing and new urban precincts. Its approach combines locally grounded design, material innovation and vernacular craft with off-grid energy, water and waste strategies, aiming for measurable social and environmental impact. The practice builds on the experience of Local Studio, which closed in 2025.
