Responding to a heritage rich location The Dexter Moren Associates( DMA) design responds to and respects the traditional streetscape scale of Cape Town’ s CBD. The top is formed to create a distinctive profile while addressing the taller scale of buildings fronting Strand Street. The middle expresses the rhythm and proportions of the typical Bree and Buitengracht Street buildings and the base responds to the scale of the pedestrian, with canopies, active frontages and typical street block diversity. As part of the development the historic Tothill’ s building was restored, reinstating original Victorian features and transforming it into retail space.
A more passive design The development is designed to be highly sustainable with passive design principles adopted
