Smaller-scale, historically significant Victorian buildings surround the precinct on Park Road and New Church Street, with cottages occupied by small businesses and residents, offering a contrasting finer grain.
Site Challenges The multi-erf site previously lacked spatial cohesion, integration and connectivity to its surroundings. As Kloof Street grew in popularity, the area became increasingly constrained by insufficient parking. The precinct was landlocked, with minimal street frontage, and access to commercial buildings was controlled and restricted, compounding its disconnection from the immediate context. The largest erf had previously been used for surface parking.
