Continuity House

Building on the success, take up, and demand for office space within the Bridgewater precinct at Century City, Rabie commissioned us to design 8000m² of premium office space within what will soon be built and known as Continuity House. Our approach was to utilise contemporary visual ideas easily executable and informed by historical continuity – Capetonian vernaculars – and then incorporate them into our architecture in a few elementary ways.
