Motus Paarden Island
Type: Retail & Showrooms
Completion: Estimated June 2025
Size: 20 000 m²
Client: Motus Group
Motus Paarden Island is a cutting-edge motor dealership development in Cape Town, spanning 20 000m² of construction area. The project features three distinct motor dealerships—Ford, Hyundai, and Kia—each with dedicated showrooms and workshops at ground level, along with a shared parking structure above.
Situated on a uniquely challenging crescent-shaped site, the development required extensive design exploration. To address the complexities of the site and brief, the design team and client engaged in multiple design workshops. Research trips to dealerships in Natal, Gauteng, and Cape Town, significantly enhanced the project’s overall quality.
The strategic location and the elevation of the parking structure also offers brand visibility from the adjacent N1 highway. An innovative vehicle display area on the upper level capitalizes on this. The design features an expressed horizontal roof edge and cladding that evoke the dynamic experience of traveling by car, connecting the observer with the excitement of the automotive world.
