thoroughfare . This provides an incredible opportunity to activate Vredenburg Lane and to connect residents of the city with a safe pedestrian route to the Company Gardens and back . It fosters transparency , safety and diversity . Using a double volume height over the passage , Blok intends to collaborate with local artists to create a mural that wraps the full extent of the space . The space falls completely within the property boundaries ensuring it can be well managed and maintained , but ultimately opening it to the public for access . The vision includes café ’ s spilling out onto this space , crafting unique inner city experiences .
With a façade of sophisticated architectural details , reminiscent of an old world charm , masses will be finished in tones of textured plaster and simple white , contrasted by deep forest green , all covered by a tapestry of balconies . TENONV is a modern tribute to its heritage surroundings and lush neighbouring gardens . Its design cleverly divides the structure into three sections , reducing its scale and blending seamlessly with the historic and natural canvas of its location .
TENONV offers 24-hour security and concierge , a communal pool deck with views of Table Mountain , as well as on-site laundry facilities . The development takes form through a collection of 150 thoughtfully designed apartments , offering a selection of micro , studio , one and two-bedroom homes tailored for harmonious city living .
