RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WINNER
No 2 Silo

From inception, the intention with No. 2 Silo was to include all
of the best materials and technology required for it to become
one of the first residential buildings in Cape Town to garner a
GBCSA rating. (Green Building Council of South Africa)
Set on the water’s edge in the historical Grain Silo Heritage
site, No. 2 Silo offers picturesque views over the harbour, sea,
city and mountains. No. 2 Silo includes 31 luxurious one and
two-bedroom apartments ranging in size from 70m² to 157m².
Designed by Rick Brown Architects and VDMMA, No. 2 Silo is
marked by minimalist architecture, 3m high ceilings emphasising
the spaciousness of each open plan apartment, and floor-toceiling sliding glass doors adding a light and airy element while

en-suite bathrooms, large entertainment areas and wrap-around
balconies are all in keeping with the latest design trends.
