Where your brand's story becomes
our architectural masterpiece.
Our architecture is not defined by a signature style, but by a commitment to finding the most appropriate response to every brief, every site, and every challenge.
We believe in listening first, understanding what matters most, and creating solutions that are uniquely suited to each client and their goals.
At No Logo Architects, we believe great architecture begins with understanding. The name No Logo reflects our philosophy: architecture should not be about imposing an architect's signature, but about uncovering the solution that best serves the client, the site, and the people who will ultimately bring it to life.
At No Logo, we believe great architecture is created where vision, creativity, and technical expertise come together.
Led by directors Marco Fanucchi, Desrae Fanucchi and Gerald Pereira, our practice brings together more than 60 years of combined experience across commercial, industrial, residential, mixed-use and refurbishment projects. While each director brings a unique perspective to the studio, they share a common commitment: creating architecture that responds thoughtfully to people, place and purpose.
Our approach combines innovative design thinking, meticulous project delivery and a genuine understanding of our clients' goals. We believe every project deserves its own response—whether it's a corporate headquarters, an industrial campus, a residential development or the reinvention of an existing building.
By embracing technology, collaboration, and sustainable thinking, we create environments that are not only functional and commercially successful, but also memorable, enduring and enjoyable to experience.
At No Logo, we're not interested in imposing a signature style. We're interested in finding the right solution for every client, every site, and every opportunity.
With more than 20 years of experience shaping commercial, industrial, mixed-use and residential developments across South Africa, Marco brings a rare combination of creative thinking, technical expertise and practical project delivery.
As a registered Professional Architect and Director of No Logo, he has led projects ranging from award-winning residential developments and corporate headquarters to large-scale industrial parks. His portfolio reflects a passion for architecture that not only performs efficiently but also creates memorable experiences for the people who use it every day.
Known for his calm, collaborative approach and attention to detail, Marco thrives on solving complex challenges and finding the balance between innovative design, commercial realities and client expectations. He is equally comfortable discussing big-picture vision with developers as he is refining the finer details of a building solution.
A strong advocate for technology-driven design, Marco has championed the implementation of BIM, Revit and cloud-based collaboration tools, ensuring projects are delivered with precision, efficiency and transparency.
When he's not immersed in architecture, you'll find him exploring new ideas, keeping abreast of emerging industry trends, and continually looking for better ways to create buildings that stand the test of time.
