GAPP JHB Welcomes Manase Sello - Candidate Senior Architectural Technologist

We are thrilled to welcome Manase Sello to our team! A passionate and dedicated architectural technologist, Manase brings a strong foundation in design, technical expertise, and project management. With an Honours Degree in Architecture from the University of the Free State, he has developed a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of the built environment. 
As a proud Sotho individual, Manase was raised in a culture that values community, respect, and harmony with nature. Growing up in a traditional Sotho village, he was inspired by the intricate designs and layouts of ancestral homes, which seamlessly blend into the surrounding landscape. 

The Sotho principles of Ubuntu (humanity towards others) and Botho (humanity towards all living things) instilled in Manase a profound appreciation for the interconnectedness of people, culture, and the built environment. These values motivated him to pursue architecture as a means to combine design, culture, and community, creating spaces that foster social cohesion, sustainability, and beauty. 

"I'm excited to be part of GAPP Architects and Urban Designers and to contribute my skills, experience, and passion for architecture to delivering exceptional projects that exceed our clients' expectations."
GAPP welcomes Brian Latouf / Candidate Architect

Brian, who joined GAPP end of last year, having completed his studies at the University of the Witwatersrand and excelling in his Master’s degree, is taking on the architectural world with an unwavering passion, enthusiasm, and determination.

Being born and raised in Johannesburg, along with his upbringing in a Lebanese family, has shaped both his character and his architectural perspective. This unique blend of local roots and a culturally diverse heritage gives him a rich understanding of community dynamics and an ability to view design challenges through a lens of innovative and inclusive design principles.

His approach to architecture is grounded in the belief that great design isn’t just about aesthetics- it’s about creating spaces that inspire, connect, and endure through his sharp eye for detail, creative spirit, and commitment to understanding the needs of those he designs for.

As he embarks on this exciting chapter with us, we know his vibrant personality, high energy, and positive outlook are sure to make him an invaluable part of our team.
Welcome back from GAPP! Here’s to a bright and abundant 2025—one where we build upon our achievements, forge new connections, and approach every challenge with fresh, creative thinking!
