The Capricorn Shopping Centre
Apart from symbolism in terms of flight, the building also serves as a strong nautical reference to the maritime context within which it is set. This theme is followed through in the detailing of the walkway structures, where the lightweight roof is hung off angled masts by a series of cables. The design picks up on the regional theme of white walled architecture which is common to the western cape. The complex was completed in 2000 at a cost of R 10 million.

The Heathfield Madrassah Complex was initially con

The Heathfield Madrassah Complex was initially conceived as an education facility with the main components being a pre-school/crèche, madrassah (teaching facility), auditorium and a prayer area. The different components are arranged around a courtyard which is typical of Islamic buildings, inwardly focused. The courtyard concept also provides for good security and movement and enables the different facilities to work together while operating independently.

The interplay between the Mecca axis and the site axis is taken up by circulation and support accommodation. This enables the more important spaces (teaching and activity areas) to be located on the outside and to maximise on natural lighting, ventilation etc. This also enables the outside of the building to synchronise with the urban built fabric while the courtyard and prayer facility orientates separately.
