As designers we're always looking.
Not for trends. Not for perfection.

The smallest moments often become the strongest design ideas.

The Berg River has been identified as a key feature within the Climate Partnership due to its ecological and economic importance in the municipal area. Drakenstein Municipality applied for funding to Engagement Global’s NAKOPA Programme (Partnership Projects for Sustainable Local Development) in 2020 to improve the Berg River. The project area includes the riparian area of the Berg River between the Market Street and the Long Street bridges. The components of the project include:
1 - Development of the Berg River walkway: The walkway was constructed to improve pedestrian movement between the Central Business District of Paarl and the various civil services located upstream of the river.
2 - Invasive alien vegetation removal: Continuous invasive alien vegetation removal has taken place to increase water availability in the river system.
3 - Ecological rehabilitation: Indigenous plants are reintroduced in the riparian area to improve the ecological condition of the river.

A concept proposal for green open spaces in an existing residential estate. The brief was, in essence, to optimise the parks for the residents. We focused on 3 core concepts for each park which the design developed from: active core & multipurpose activities, creating interest and improving circulation, and improving the functionality of the 'forgotten pockets'. The result was that each park caters to a different programme. Chill, play and socialize.

The underlying concept here was to expose and showcase the geological strata of the landscape, with the terraces, stone walls and sculptural boulders acting as an exhibition foyer in front of the new Earth Sciences building. Every boulder was painstakingly chosen, moved and placed as sculptural elements in the landscape.
Thank you for your patience.
