Kuyasa Public Transport Interchange
This project deals with two responses. One Architectural, the other through Urban Design. These are intertwined to form a cohesive union.
THE URBAN DESIGN CONTEXTThe project originated from an urban design study conducted by MEYER+VORSTER (now Meyer & Associates Architects & Urban Designers) to highlight the importance of the new Kuyasa Station as part of a future urban node in Khayelitsha. The City of Cape Town commissioned the same set of consultants to design a new transport interchange at this station to facilitate intermodal transfers. This facility was not only considered the focus, but also had to act as catalyst for future intensive urban development around the station.

MAUI POOL EDGE
In contrast to the skimmer system, the trend towards overflowing pools as a spa/wellness imitation has gained momentum in recent years. In these pools the water overflows the edge and generates the effect of a continuous floor and pool, without cuts, a complete integration.
This style has always been more common in hotel and wellness centre projects but a few years ago it started to become fashionable in private homes, why not have the luxury of a hotel in your own home?
The swimming pool and its surroundings should be a space where safety and comfort are paramount. The surrounding floor must be non-slip and walkable barefoot or with wet feet, so both our pool coping edging and our ceramic drainage gratings have non-slip properties, which... More
