accommodation is provided in various configurations , from studios to one bedroom apartments with one bathroom , and two bedroom units with either one or two bathrooms .
A game-changer project for the Western Cape Government , the development is setting a new model for integrated housing in the country . It has been designed to accommodate social , affordable and market housing within the same precinct , making no aesthetic distinction between the mixed tenures . Affordable housing comprises FLISP units , prioritising womenled households , making homeownership more accessible for lower-income earners .
The architectural design of Lion ’ s Head features a diversified façade , which intersperses facebrick with painted plaster accents that correspond with cantilevered balconies , creating an extruded effect . The height of the plaster bands reinforces the solidity of the balconies and plastered panels are placed across the façade in a staggered formation to add interest . This aesthetic choice creates a unique identity for the Lion ’ s Head building .
A central open courtyard provides a communal space for relaxation and social interaction . Two main entrances will welcome visitors to the shopping centre , while open-air walkways will ensure excellent ventilation throughout the complex . A playground offers children spaces to play , and some of the buildings also feature lawned , landscaped areas .
Lion ’ s Head is a dynamic addition to Conradie Park , offering a perfect blend of modern living , convenient shopping and welldesigned workspaces .
