The Apartheid Museum stands not only as a place of exhibition, but as an experience- one that moves you, quite literally, through history. Lindsay Bremner, South African scholar and architect, and current Professor of Architecture at the University of Westminster, describes the experience as one of controlled manipulation, where visitors ascend and descend, creating a sense of distance from the outside world and an entrance into an unknown, unpredictable realm.
As Johannesburg marks a year of significant milestones, the museum’s 25th anniversary reminds us that remembrance is an active practice. This Human Rights Day (Saturday, 21 March), South Africans are invited to step into this history, with free entry for all.
We are incredibly honoured to see Ellerman House featured in The Scape Gold Key: Hospitality Edition - a special volume celebrating hospitality spaces where design becomes part of the journey itself, inseparable from the experience of arrival and stay.
Thank you to the Scape team for including GAPP in such inspiring company.

We kicked off the year with a creative vision board session across our Johannesburg and Cape Town studios.
From dream projects and bold urban interventions to reimagining our own office spaces, our teams mapped out what they want to design, build and shape in the year ahead. It was an afternoon of creativity, collaboration and a shared sense of purpose.
Here’s to a year of intentional design, ambitious thinking and bringing these visions to life!
