The Why Project

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be highlighting some of the incredible work of our mentors ✨

Michelle is one of the mentors at The WHY Project and runs her own Cape Town-based practice, Onyx Architects.

Today we’re featuring the cellar at Moya Meaker Winery, a project that beautifully reflects the thoughtful, intentional touch women continue to bring to architecture through detail, materiality, and sensitivity to place.

Explore more of her work on the Onyx Architects website✨
