Urbn Blu Architecture and Urban Design
We are an architectural and urban design practice based in Pretoria. Our aim is to fully understand
'Creating passageways to the past'.
Our design approach identified areas of conflict (old vs new) and provided a spatial strategy to achieve a solution by preserving elements of the historical Malay camp road network. The design provided the opportunity for exchange, interaction, dialogue and a window to the past.
