volume. Limitation fosters creativity, and the increasingly challenged size of the average urban home is inducing some exciting new design paradigms. More and more, minimalism emerges as a logical response to limited space, fostering consideration for quality over quantity.
In the process of delineating personal space more innovatively, the danger of course, is isolation. In more and more urban developments around the world, compact living is counterbalanced with interwoven communal spaces. Active consideration for how people interact with one another is essential once the street or the stoep or the verandah is removed from the equation. Designing zones of human contact effectively tasks the designer with thinking beyond three dimensions, and entertaining the fourth: time. How do people move throughout these corridors and stairways and lobbies and rooftops? Where might they see or encounter each other? What might facilitate pausing to connect with their fellow residents?
It’s an exciting time for conscious urban architecture.
Urban Housing
It should seem unsurprising to most of us that urban space is at a growing premium. It’s been a growing trend across the world since the industrial revolution, but particularly so in the last few decades as people flock to urban areas. The prospect of finding a large home in close proximity to the city is certain to be challenging in the future. The certainty of demand for this finite resource has meant an explosion of supply; apartment blocks and housing developments respond in record speeds. The potential side effects of this frenzy are twofold: our cityscapes become homogenised and uninspiring, and the notion of community fades into obscurity as neighbourly contact becomes a secondary concern to the maximum yield of tightly packed units.
The challenge to developers, architects and designers in the face of diminishing real estate is to remain human-oriented in spite of spatial limitations. Creating a comfortable home for a family of four is a fairly straightforward exercise on a sprawling plot of land. But reduce the square meterage and the challenge becomes vastly more complex, requiring even greater attention to every cubic metre of
A Global TrendWritten by Dylan Culhane

Feature
The world’s population is becoming increasingly urban, a trend which shows no signs of slowing down, and urban centres are becoming more important through their ability to offer both work and education opportunities. However, the fast changing nature of our urban culture conflicts with past urban planning approaches used to design our cities – as such, it hardly seems surprising that supplying enough accessible urban housing is a global predicament.
At one end of the spectrum, government, corporate and design resources are rightly being pointed towards the social housing conundrum, in an attempt to grapple with the country’s apartheid planning legacy and the unjust imbalances this imposes on the city’s poorest residents, exacerbated by urbanisation and urban sprawl.
At the other end, the demand for housing far outstrips the supply of land in the city, causing property prices to sky-rocket, in turn making it difficult, if not impossible, for many individuals to access opportunities in the housing market.
A significant middle portion of society, wedged between “qualifying for support” and “the choice economy”, are struggling to get a foothold in the property market, and in many cases the mid-range options that are available to them are typically quite uninspired. Developers are too caught up in the frenzy of ‘speculative development’ to consider supplying for this portion of the market and fail to acknowledge the stress that this places on society’s fabric.
Moreover, often no consideration is given to the historic character of an area, nor to contributing to a neighbourhood’s sense of community. The future? Increasingly unaffordable stacks of generic apartments – not the ideal for a healthy urban environment.
How can this change? How can developers develop in a way that not only contributes to the diversity of an area, but also in a more accessible manner?
Lobbying local government to offer tax incentives to developers to add a percentage of more affordable units to major developments is one solution. However, various approaches exist, adopted by some of the most forward-
Written by Rashiq Fataar
A New Model for Urban Developmentthinking cities around the world, to create an enabling environment for developers, communities and governments to cooperate more closely to introduce a range of housing opportunities for the middle-income market.
Well-considered architectural design is another key ingredient. Integrating a development into a characterful neighbourhood might frustrate some architects, but the more creative, compassionate designer will regard it not simply as a responsibility to the community, but as a delightful and intriguing visual riddle to solve. While property developments can massively contribute to an area’s all-round value, this shouldn’t be at the expense of its traditional character.
Adopting a less rigid approach to the mix of unit types within a development is a necessary means of increasing density in urban centres to tackle these urban challenges. Not only will this allow more people to live in the city, it allows services to be delivered more efficiently and more sustainably and also promotes cultural diversity and economic growth. People will have to travel less to access work and public spaces in the city, which will allow them to spend more time on other activities – e.g. spending time with family. Due to limited land available in well-located parts of the city, we need to reconfigure apartments, and how we live, to ensure that apartment spaces are used more efficiently to accommodate more people and at the same time our civic spaces and buildings are used more frequently.
Compact housing is major opportunity for more efficient, healthy and vibrant urban living, which takes one step towards a more sustainable future city.

We are excited to be piloting a first for Blok that responds to needs that are current and very real in today’s market - the lack of diversified housing in well located urban areas. As developers, we recognise that we have a role to play in contributing towards a more integrated, diversified and sustainable development trajectory. By using a research-by-design development approach borne out of partnerships between us, the City and the community, we have utilised well-located land and are wanting to unlock bulk potential on existing sites approved for development.
The aim is to provide urban apartments that serve the currently uncatered-for middle-income market that will be incorporated within our planned development. Our goal with this project is to evolve a model that can be used to illustrate the potential role of developers in the development of the city and create awareness around their ability to undertake similar projects that will begin to assist in contributing well-located urban housing that is targeted at the middle-income market.
The site for the proposed development is currently a vacant piece of land in the Bo Kaap. The development’s design sensitively acknowledges and incorporates the neighbourhood’s built and cultural heritage and urban fabric whilst trying to gently nudge the architecture in a modern direction. In addition, we hope to collaborate with the community on certain elements in and around the development.
This project reflects our passion for urbanism, our ethos of being involved in the communities in which we develop and our interest in pushing the boundaries of design.
Traditional Development Approach
Existing Context - Rising land and housing costs in the city- A lack of well-located urban housing for the stretched
middle market- Long commute times and high transport costs- No diverse income mix in well-located urban housing
Traditional Development Approach
- Non-contextual design- Conventional design principles: Housing above parking- Large amounts of parking and poor street interface- Lack of diversity in the development- Lack of shared spaces
Unlocking Bulk Potential
- Realising full bulk potential at 40 Lion street site- Bulk departure within current zoning scheme- Land or holding costs attributes to original scheme- Introduction of more affordable units to original scheme
Integrated Housing Development
- Respect for neighbourhood character and fabric- Terraced design of development across site- Promotes densification- More-affordable units integrated into broader development- Parking structures hidden from view
Shared Spaces and Amenities
- Promotes social integration through shared spaces for all residents including a gym, pool and deck area
- Neighbour interaction through internal staircases and spaces- Street level interface with street and neighbourhood- Publicly accessible staircase alongside the development and
the garden at the ground level
Overall Development
- Contextual design - Human scale at street level- Establishes a sense of community - 180 degree views of Table Mountain and City Bowl

Welcome to Blok Raw
F0RTY 0N L is the first Raw product that Blok is bringing to the market. Raw will evolve and deliver on alternative uses much as the digital market has shifted from desktop to laptop to smart phones and tablets. We need a more diversified product range within our cities that will encourage more to participate in the urban opportunity that is so critical to their success. The objective is for more people to live in our urban centres. Contextually, F0RTY 0N L is in a neighbourhood and a community with a strong history and identity, both culturally and architecturally. The opportunity and challenge is then to create something that adds to and evolves these elements whilst simultaneously innovating within the urban development market. The fortitude shown by this resilient space inspired the timing for introducing Blok’s innovations within the urban home market and response to the urban growth that cities are experiencing on a global scale. Our concept team had to ensure that whilst delivering on the ambitions of Raw, we create a building that speaks to its landscape and context. Insofar as connections go, we wanted the building to interact with its immediate surroundings as far as possible. This is demonstrated throughout the building but most notably from the linkage of the public staircase into the communal spaces of the building and the terraces. The entrance from Military Road gives way into one of the cities most prominent features, our mountain reserves. All of this framed with the palettes of colour that brighten our experience of built form. Through increased density and coming together in our growing urban spaces we are given the opportunity to create something new. Within FORTY ON L we will be piloting our first 80/20 development model, where approximately 20% of the units are designed and subsidised by parts of the development for the middle income market. These homes will be released in the coming months through best practice principles we have researched from inspiring cities and leading edge projects globally. We are excited to be pushing boundaries and challenging the role of an urban developer in a growing dynamic city. We will continue to work towards re-invigorating our cities in the place of prominence they deserve. We hope you enjoy exploring the concepts and diligent work that has gone into developing our 80/20 model and to giving an expression to Raw.
There has never been a more opportune time to address the future development path of our city. Future Cape Town is excited to be a part of this particular development team as it speaks to our core values; that people, knowledge and design are integral to rethinking how we plan, design and build better cities.
The design of F0RTY 0N L by WAUW responds to the urban dynamics of the city and the need for more well-located urban apartments as part of dense, integrated developments - a response to the challenge of urban sprawl. It also goes one step further, embracing the full potential of the site and its unique location, but respectfully incorporating key elements that shape the character and way of living in the Bo Kaap.
The need for dense urban developments in well-located areas is also borne out of research we have been conducting to better understand the middle-income market and demand. This is where knowledge has been key to inform the conception of F0RTY 0N L. The role that developers play is a key aspect in this process – being open to engage in the challenge to introduce developments which cater for a diverse set of income ranges, supporting more sustainable, equitable cities.
But the foundation of how we move towards this goal rests on people, and in particular how developers, government, the community and various groups and agencies partner meaningfully.
The almost overwhelming challenges faced by our cities compels us to explore new development models, which when created live beyond a particular project and inspire others to create the future city we will all live in, and want to live in. I am excited to be a part of this.

Building Introduction
F0RTY 0N L represents a significant evolution for Blok, heralding the first development in our Blok Raw division. In our ongoing exploration of new modes of compact urban living, Blok Raw emerges not only as an evolution of our design principles, but as a response to an increasingly dense city. Located as it is within Cape Town’s historical Bo Kaap district, F0RTY 0N L also necessitated a far more considered approach to contextual integration — adding to the character and value of the neighbourhood rather than distorting it.
As the moniker implies, Blok Raw developments prioritise a sense of materialism, and F0RTY 0N L is a wonderful example of this principle. Whereas Blok developments are characterised by meticulous finishing and crisp detailing, this flagship development foregrounds its subcutaneous form: wood, concrete, glass, and steel become decorative as well as structural in an unusual harmony between architecture and interior design.
It manifests a bold expression of confidence in the underlying design of the building, as the raw craftsmanship lies bare under the scrutiny of abundant
sunlight. For the homeowner, this stripped back aesthetic invites imagination; a spacious and calming minimalist foundation with infinite potential to personalise.
F0RTY 0N L continues to build on the Blok ideal of shared spaces, promoting connected communal living, counteracting the inherent segregation of a conventional apartment block. A spectrum of apartments are unified around a central communal oasis, where the paths of residents are intended to cross. Beyond referencing the Bo Kaap in flourishes of colour and idiosyncratic material references, the defining sense of community in this 250 year-old neighbourhood was perhaps the greatest inspiration for the architects.
Living in this culturally rich area, abounding in colours, scents, sounds, textures and stories, gives F0RTY 0N L a special appeal. A village-like existence on the doorstep of the city really does exist. The trifecta of comfort, convenience, and community make this a rare opportunity to create a dream home in the heart of the most beautiful city in the world.
We invite you to find out more about this very special project.

The typical residence in the Bo Kaap is a vividly painted semi-detached house with a small stoep overlooking the street. WAUW’S biggest challenge was integrating a cluster of modern apartments into this neighbourhood without tearing at its distinctive fabric. They were very conscious of scale. Van den Berg explains that their solution was to effectively deconstruct the typical monolitihic apartment block, slicing it down the middle to fracture the mass. Slivers of Bo Kaap colours between units furthers this sense of fragmentation. Resisting enclosure and separation from the community, they also developed a porous perimeter to facilitate osmosis between the home and the street. The notion of a shared space where residents can see and interact with one another has become a hallmark of Blok developments, and this has remained a primary concern for the inaugural Blok Raw development at F0RTY 0N L. Their solution was to cleave it in half, giving rise to an upper and lower section on either side of a communal oasis. Each passageway also connects to a curvaceous concrete stairway that cascades through the staggered complex, creating an arterial network that courses life through the building. Moreover, its organic form sets up a lovely counterbalance to the dominant geometry of the main structure.
The staircase also echoes an existing set of public steps that run down the edge of the site, a popular thoroughfare connecting a primary school to the neighbourhood. Van den Berg and Janse van Rensburg noticed that these function as more than mere pathways; they are convenient spots to hang
out and socialise before and after school. The phenomenon is common throughout the Bo Kaap, where the steep topography is stitched together with concrete stairways, and intermittent landings become shared spaces. The architects simply carried this idea through to their vision of a more communal type of apartment block.
Housing dozens of families also makes parking space a considerable factor, but the last thing WAUW wanted was an unsightly parkade in an area where most residents park on the street outside their houses. Of course street parking simply wouldn’t be possible with so many people in one block, so they hid all these bays in the darker central core of the building, and optimised the entire outer-facing real estate to bring as much light as possible into the apartments. A cobbled road in line with the vernacular streets of the area meanders through this central cavity, connecting entrances at the top and bottom of the development for convenient access.
This same principle of maximising luminosity applied when designing the individual units. Beyond intelligent open-plan design, there are certain ‘tricks’ that help create the illusion of more space – like walls that don’t meet the ceiling, cheating the eye into thinking it extends much further than it does. One’s sensation of space is often more about perception than cubic metres.
WAUW’s hope is that this development will add to the dialogue between old and new in the Bo Kaap and be a positive step towards accepting the challenge of densification, integration and change in our city.
For Erik Janse van Rensburg and Eric van den Berg of WAUW, evolving the next phase of Blok in unique terrain meant truly understanding the Bo Kaap neighbourhood in which their landmark development will live for decades to come. Beyond the familiar aesthetic of the area – cobbled and colourful – they were particularly interested in the relationship between the home and the street, and how people move around this famously communal neighbourhood.

You would of course be mistaken to think that this equates to less consideration. Quite the opposite, Hamlyn maintains. Without paint and plaster disguising the material’s inherent tactility, their texture and warmth become features of the home. Subtle imperfections add character, and make the space what it is.
It’s interesting to consider that this raw materialism applies to the outside and the inside of the building simultaneously. In other words, the architects’ choice of timber or concrete or steel as a structural medium will ultimately become part of the decor, making for a far more integrated relationship between architecture and interior design. Partially nude (in construction terms), there’s a greater sense of authenticity in this approach.
Purposefully devoid of flourish and any imposed aesthetic, Hamlyn envisions Raw apartments as a blank canvas for the owner’s imagination and creativity. Upon a texturally dynamic, visually calming foundation, there’s room to add to the degree of adornment to suit one’s personal taste. It’s simple enough to build upon or even cover raw construction material if one prefers a more refined aesthetic over time, whereas taking a refined apartment to its bare bones would be almost unthinkable.
Infusing colour into the design scheme was a highlight for Hamlyn, accustomed to the use of neutrals on most Blok homes. The technicolour Bo Kaap neighbourhood
provided a tsunami of inspiration. Most of us are familiar with the borderline-neon hues associated with the Wale and Rose Streets postcard view, but Hamlyn delved a little deeper into the cobbled back streets, and looked at the shadows on the walls to derive a considered palette of deep, subdued colours: denim, olive, cabernet and turmeric. The idea was homage, not emulation. So you won’t find any brightly painted walls, but rather splashes, edges and accents in some of the spaces in between.
The spatial limitation concomitant with compact urban living (a global architectural trend exemplified by Raw) was a significant factor for Hamlyn to consider in her designs. Rather than cleverly hiding spaces within the apartment, the idea was to limit the use of doors and cupboards in favour of maximising volume. An overhead rail for hanging pots and pans, for example, is far more space conscious than encroaching on the kitchen’s finite floorspace with built-in cupboards.
Hamlyn explains a fundamental paradigm shift at play here: regarding the home as a space to display one’s possessions rather than store them, shifting emphasis from quantity to quality. When your frying pan hangs in plain sight and not buried away in a dark cupboard, it becomes a component of your kitchen decor, and not just another appliance. This in turn fosters a more considered approach to both design and consumerism.
Working on the first ever Blok Raw development at F0RTY 0N L was a refreshing challenge for Holly Hamlyn, Blok’s resident interior designer. Whereas Blok has garnered a reputation for sophisticated, invisible finishings, apartments within the Blok Raw stable are typically more youthful, industrial and more expressive. True to its name, Raw developments place an emphasis on materiality, leaving exposed what is usually indiscriminately smoothed over.

The base materials for the interiors are raw, they are the unadorned skeleton. They don’t hide or pretend to be what they are not. The materials used are interesting and rich, adding a natural character to every space. They not only create an honest backdrop to the thoughtful design elements within each of the apartments but are features themselves.

Heritage
A Short History of the Bo KaapWritten by Dylan Culhane
Blok Raw
With records of its initial development dating back to the 1760s, the Bo Kaap is among Cape Town’s — and South Africa’s — oldest residential areas. One of the first houses built in the area during this initial wave by architect Jan de Waal still stands as the Bo Kaap Museum on modern-day Wale Street, echoing the area’s original name of Waalendorp. It’s a rare glimpse of the prevailing urban design inclinations some 250 years ago.
The first mosque in the Cape was built here in 1794 (still in use today despite numerous alterations), a spiritual bastion for the thousands of slaves, political exiles and convicts from East Africa and South East Asia arriving on these shores from the mid-seventeenth century. Despite the diversity of this ethnic influx, the term ‘Cape Malay’ was broadly adopted to define these new arrivals, and Waalendorp became known colloquially as the Malay Quarter. Though Islam gradually emerged as the area’s dominant culture, the Bo Kaap has always been a multicultural melting pot in a thriving port city. Its current association as a Muslim neighbourhood is largely the result of regretful political engineering: the infamous Group Areas Act of 1950 declared the Bo Kaap to be solely for Cape Muslim residents, to the exclusion of all other religions and ethnicities.
This semi-isolation of the area has fostered an unusually consistent cultural identity in this nook between Buitengracht and Strand. Cape Malay cooking, defined by tomato bredie, bobotie, sosaties and koeksisters,
is arguably the most coherent and definable cuisine in the country. The symphony of vivid hues that characterise the Bo Kaap’s residential façades is another byproduct of the area’s distinct spiritual fervour. The tradition of brightly painting one’s house as a preparation for Eid has slowly been phased out, but residents routinely re-paint their exterior walls in a new tradition of community pride, celebrating its uniqueness. It’s no wonder that this Crayola patchwork of lime, magenta, vermillion, zaffre, saffron, crimson and violet on the foot of Signal Hill rivals Table Mountain as the city’s definitive picture postcard.
Today the Bo Kaap remains peculiar in that it is one of very few neighbourhoods to emerge from Apartheid’s divisive mission with a predominantly working class population still adjoined to the city centre. Local politics aside, this phenomenon of affordable, quality housing on the CBD’s fringe is a rarity the world over.
It’s had many names over the years: Waalendorp, the Malay Quarter, the Slamse Buurt, Schotcheskloof. But despite shifting nomenclatures, the Bo Kaap has been a bright colourful jewel in the city’s crown for more than two centuries. As this beautiful neighbourhood bobs along in the wake of Cape Town’s rapid modernisation project, it’s crucial to reflect on the value of history, culture, and character in a city. They will always be the antidote to cold concrete sprawl, and we’d be wise to passionately preserve this finite resource.

Auwal Mosque
Oral tradition maintains that this is the oldest mosque in South Africa, built when Imam Abdullah Kadi Abdus Salaam (also known as Tuan Guru, a prince from Indonesia) arrived on these shores. As the first Imam of the Cape, Tuan Guru is believed to have written several copies of the holy Quran from memory, thus playing a significant role in the growth of Islam in South Africa. According to records at the deeds office in Cape Town, the land on which this mosque is located is still registered in the name of his wife, Saartjie van de Kaap. This dates back to February 13 1809, but the mosque is believed to have been in use since 1794.

Though perhaps too new to warrant landmark status, this unmissable building on Wale Street, with its Bo Kaap-meets-de Stijl façade, exemplifies the new wave of commerce in the area. No less than ten local designers showcase and sell their work under one roof, including Ballo, Grandt Mason Originals, Sealand, Stockton Goods, and more. The adjoining Deluxe Coffee pod brews the best cup of coffee in the area. Conscious of the area’s culture and aesthetic, Bo-Op points the way to integrated modernisation, showing us that change needn’t be unsettling.

Atlas Trading
In 1946, two brothers bought a small general dealer store on Wale Street in the heart of the Bo Kaap, at a time when it was generally accepted that for good spices, you had to go to Durban. Soon the shop became known throughout the city, and some sixty years later it retains a sterling reputation for the quality and variety of their imported spices. Wahab Ahmed now manages the store with his brother and two cousins, recently relocated a stone’s throw from the original store but replete with all its ongoing fittings. Described by some as a “spice sommelier,” Wahab’s reverence for turmeric, saffron, basmati, cardamom and masala will no doubt inspire you to cook up a pungent curry for dinner.

Rocksole
The Bo Kaap is the home of for Cape Malay cuisine, and Bo Kaap Kombuis is one of the best exemplars of this traditional fare. The restaurant’s owners, Yusuf and Nazli Larney, pride themselves on reflecting the customs and traditions of the area’s original residents. Located in the hub of one the most tourist-frequented areas of the city, it’s fair to say that this humble establishment has introduced the distinctive fruity, spicy flavours of Cape Malay cooking to tastebuds from all corners of the globe.
This men’s shoe store has been a Cape Town landmark since 1936, soon after a young cobbler from Bombay came to the Cape in search of opportunity. For the better part of a century, this fourth-generation family business has clad the feet of the city’s most discerning gentlemen, its reputation bolstered by the type of old-world customer service one rarely finds today. For classic leather brogues and meticulous repairs, Rocksole is the first place to go.

Bo Kaap MuseumBuilt between 1763 and 1768, this historical home is the last remnant of Waalendorp, an early residence in what would become the Bo Kaap area. In light of the area being home to many Muslims and freed slaves after the abolition of slavery, the Bo Kaap Museum showcases local Islamic culture and heritage. In order to depict the lifestyle of a traditional 19th-century Muslim family residing in Bo Kaap, the museum is set up and furnished as if it is a family’s home.
The Noon GunThere’s arguably no tradition more ingrained in the psyches of all Capetonians than the unwavering noontime ‘BOOM’ from Signal Hill. After the English occupation of the Cape in 1795, Dutch guns were taken and replaced by a bigger English cannon, and ever since 1806, a shot has been fired by the South African Navy as a time signal. The public is able to visit the site to watch the process of shooting the gun and learn about its history. While you’re up there, the views of the city are quite superb.

“People are trying to keep more to themselves these days, but in this community, everyone looks out for each other.
The area’s changed quite a lot. The store where I work now, selling local designer’s products, used to be a butchery. My parents used to buy their groceries right here on this corner. Every morning when I come to work I walk past this place, and I remember being a child, swinging around this same pole. I broke my arm for the first time on those stairs over there. So, I have a lot of good memories from growing up in this area, and they often come back to me when I see these spots. Most of my family still live here. I don’t think they’ll ever move out! They’re very proud of the Bo Kaap. I regard it as part of my heritage and my family’s heritage; my mother lived here all her life. Most of the people in this area, if I mention my grandfather’s name, they know him. It’s always been a tight community.
