Spend a lovely day revisting Guga S'Thebe and the Children's Theater where there was great artworks by OurWorkshop

We ran into an old friend (see in one of the images) Manana arriving back from Greenpoint Park drumming - looking great in his yellow outfit

Guga S'Thebe and Children 's Theater continues to stay culturally active, beautiful and vibrant. Take the time to visit this place which is one of the most culturally inspirational places in South Africa.

Blikkiesdorp

Location: Oceanview Dr, Sea Point, Cape Town

Completion: 2005

The orignal house was built in the 50s. The project consisted of a removal of the roof and building of an open plan studio on top of the old house. This was done by staff and their families. There was no appointed contractor, only selected sub contractors.

Engineer - Luc de Cruz (Portugal)
Welder - Fred Klink (Netherland)

The structure was redesigned and incorporated sustainable design and replacing it with a new brave structure.

The interior space is a double volume and has uninterrupted views of the sea and allows a lot of natural light, which creates a beautiful work environment and living space.

Once the corrugated cladding was complete, the structure was dubbed "Blikkiesdorp" in bright red by one of the neighbours on the street wall.  CS Studio framed the graffiti, making it part of its identity.

This contemporary project of architecture with a unique interpretation of sustainability made a huge impact in its context.

A favourite from our archives...

Wesbank Multi Purpose Centre
Project completion : 2006 -2008

Situated in Wesbank Delft where it became a need to build a multipurpose centre in the community.

The building might be small-scale, yet the natural light and ventilation make the internal spaces feel much larger and vibrant.

It has served the community well, where decorative ceramic murals and colourful walls reflect their cultural identity and were created by the people of the community. This has brought life to the street and community.
