Oliver is a professional architect primarily working in the water infrastructure division at the firm. In 2019, he graduated from the M.Arch (Prof) program at the University of Cape Town with distinction and received multiple awards for his thesis that re-imagined a new heritage pilgrimage route along the Eerste-Kuil River.

Oliver sees architecture as a practical art that must leverage aesthetic and social dimensions. His approach prioritises the balance between beauty and functionality, between environmental consciousness and practicality. 

Over the last few years, Oliver has designed projects in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban across commercial, religious, institutional and residential spheres.
