PROJECT INFORMATION

DELFT MALL This project is characterised by the use of affordable materials – simple architectural elements that distinguishes the features by using very little colour. The colours are also chosen as opposites of the spectrum so the important architectural elements and details come to the forefront of the viewer’s experience. This was done in order to break these features and soften the connection wooden elements that were introduced. This in turn creates a warmth and softens the harsh dualities and juxtaposed features of black and white. D elft is based on economical upliftment, and the choice behind materials are subject to affordability to inspire the surrounding GORDONS BAY MALL The centre design was premised on a central courtyard with nuances of nautical architecture and maritime style. It was notions of ocean liners, the activity on the pool deck and holidays at the seaside that lead to a playful and effortless freshness of the space.

communities of Delft. The building shows what is possible with affordable materials. Affordable local material were the main aspects of the building. During the water crisis in Cape Town it was important to find alternative solutions for water usage during construction. Retention pods were created early on to assist with this. Domestic water supply has also been considered and an RO plant has been installed to further alleviate water usage for the centre. The architect and client were satisfied with the outcome and the outreach it has created for the community. 
