In 2013, CS Studio Architects participated in a exhibition in Paris France. The four projects that was showcased at the exhibition was Westbank primary school (1999-2002), Westbank multi-purpose center (2006-2008).Guga's Thebe Center for Arts, Culture and Heritage (1996-1999) in Langa, Cape Town. and The Dawid Klaaste Center (2002-2005) in Laingsburg, Karoo.

The bare walls of the hall were entirely covered with fabrics made by the Philani women's group from Cape Town, from recycled fabrics and hand-painted with naive designs. This group is the result of a project, which began more than 20 years ago.
