vegetation and granite boulders, overlooking the Magaliesberg

design and architectural services including the formulation
of the urban design framework and precinct plans for the entire
estate and the design and implement various housing typologies
, including mansion blocks, attached and semi-detached units,
gate houses, and a club house.
The development provides a total living environment in unique
residential precincts for a new community of approximately
8,000 people . The precincts are structured around an interconnected
open space system designed to accommodate a golf course and
