ONE26 ON M , SEA POINT
Incorporating conscious design principles that strike a balance between work and play - as well as the built space and the environment - Blok has launched its latest development , which the developer considers to be its most humancentered project to date . Says Jacques van Embden , Managing Director at Blok , “ Off the back of 2020 , the needs and priorities of consumers have shifted , and we ’ ve put the city-based modernist firmly at the heart of ONE26 ON M ; our response to the rising need for wellness and balance in every sphere of our lives .” ONE26 ON M also shows a significant amount of thoughtfulness in the features it offers . “ We felt that it was important that we focus our value proposition . As we continue to see a trend of ‘ living outside the home ’, residents are looking to their neighbourhood to answer their needs , with location and affordability prioritised over a plethora of amenities . ONE26 ON M responds in kind , with amenities that include shared spaces such as a roof deck with pool , boardrooms and co-working spaces , as well as high-speed fibre connectivity . ONE26 ON M also offers on-site security and retail , and is pet-friendly . Featuring the developer ’ s signature Blok Raw finish , which is defined by principles of contemporary minimalism , the apartments are designed to keep costs low , while making the most of available space .
