urban sensitivity
The location of the top structure at the end of Point Road has been determined by the tunnel layout below and will serve as a significant urban device, adding value to the Durban Point Development Framework Plan.
architectural sensitivity
The structure forms a seamless capsule allowing workers and vehicles 24-hour access within a safe environment to service the tunnel below.
While responsive to the industrial harbour context, the sculptural plastic roof form serves as a recognisable landmark along Point Road.
All stone has been reconstituted from waste collected from various local stonemasons. The stone matches that of the local grey dolerite, which served historically as a significant building material, to the Durban Harbour walls.
