Maranatha Community Church | Kempton Park, South Africa
Construction was completed in early June 2026

DBM Architects is proud to have delivered the full architectural scope of services for Maranatha Community Church

The brief called for a single precinct able to serve a congregation of over 5,500, while also housing a children's ministry, a training centre, a multipurpose hall for youth and public events, and full education facilities - from an 18-month preschool through to the relocated Maranatha Christian School (Grade R to matric). A glazed circulation tower anchors the site, linking the auditorium, education wings and community amenities - including an on-site coffee shop, restaurant and basement parking - into one legible, welcoming campus.

At DBM Architects, we remain committed to creating purposeful, people-centred environments defined by design excellence, functionality and lasting value.

Coral Cove Senior Living Estate | KZN North Coast 🌊

A meaningful milestone on the KZN North Coast. Phase 1 of Coral Cove is almost complete, with the Care Centre and Wellness Centre finished and fully operational this August.

These spaces were designed to place quality care and everyday wellbeing at the heart of coastal living at Sheffield Beach, just north of Ballito. Coral Cove by Auria Senior Living is the first senior living community of its kind in KZN, and it has been a privilege to help bring it to life.

DBM Architects is proud to contribute specialist architectural expertise to a coastal senior living development shaped by design integrity, sustainability and considered architecture.

Senior Living is Being Refined at Coral Cove
Coral Cove by Auria Senior Living reflects the changing face of senior living in South Africa.
📍Sheffield Beach | KwaZulu Natal North Coast | South Africa

Phase 1 construction is almost complete, with the first residents now occupying their new homes across 90 free-standing houses and 27 apartments.

The Pavilion forms the social heart of the development, with Auria Café already operational. The care centre and wellness centre are scheduled for completion by the end of June 2026, as Coral Cove continues to welcome new residents.

Beyond care and safety, modern senior living is increasingly shaped by lifestyle, independence, wellness, social connection, and purposeful living.
