quest marine apartments | cape town

300 modular rental apartments with collaborative living spaces in the industrial area of Paarden Eiland along Marine Drive, one of the main traffic axes of Cape Town earmarked for redevelopment. The profile of the building recalls the adjacent container yards of this portside development, while the choice of materials and forms recalls the industrial “vernacular” of the area. Efficient design methodology provides a short construction period and a maximum yield of apartments that can change size and use over time as the demand for micro-apartments in Cape Town matures and develops.
