Corner view of the AVANTI building which is one of TV3's crowning achievements and one of the first to comply with SA's stringent new energy regulations.
This sturdy apartment building is a blend of Cape Vernacular and modern architecture styles - a quality design by the experienced architecture firm.
The highly reflective glass, in square windows, plus the gutterless finishe and tall maple trees, give this a Canadian sort of look.
This hospital has two main wings, and the large forms are broken up through careful design of the apertures. Enjoy this attraction on the same day that you take a leisurely walk through the town of Franschhoek, and drive up the pass through the mountains.
Typical of TV3's style the facade incorporates broad planes of timber cladding. It's a pity the owners don't varnish it more regularly.
MORE BY SVA
THE SANCTUARY SHOPPING CENTRE during spring when the indigenous vegetation brings out the best in the building.
THE INTERIOR of THE SANCTUARY showing the large atrium like roof that is supported by huge steel girders providing a vast hall-like space three stories high at the heart of the building. A daring design.
