Constantia Emporium
Type: Retail & Showrooms
Completion: 2019
Size: 7900 m²
Client: Shoprite Checkers (Pty) Ltd
Constantia Emporium is a boutique convenience centre, located in the leafy suburb of Constantia, Cape Town. Located on a land restitution site, it is envisaged that the new retail centre will act as a catalyst for further development on the remaining restitution sites.
The contemporary convenience centre is inspired by rural homestead architecture and celebrates familiar homestead forms using exposed portal steel frames, timber beams, slatted timber and profiled steel cladding. The development aims to be what it could have been, if allowed to develop naturally, by creating what is perceived to be a grouping of individual buildings connected by a double volume mall. The use of off-shutter concrete, painted walls, steel and glass in contemporary monochrome shades is offset by the warmth of slatted timber elements creating a sophisticated, layered exterior.
The centre is predominantly single level retail with an upper level dedicated to offices.
The building was awarded the SAPOA Property Development Awards for Innovative Excellence in Retail Development (2020).
