How can we minimise the physical, environmental, and spatial impact on these pristine locations on a World Heritage Site? What are the basics of shelter? How do the structures become part of the surroundings without causing disruption? Exploring sustainable hiking huts that honour and preserve this natural wonder. #SustainableArchitecture #WorldHeritage #EcoFriendlyDesign #saltarchitects #design #architecture #capenature #sustainablearchitecture

Grateful to @nadinheinich and @we_are_plan_a for last week's insightful @architecture_matters_ Annual Summit on Cities and the Future Conference. Some key takeaways from a South African perspective on European insights: 1. Simplify – complexity doesn't always mean progress. 2. Be proactive, not reactive. Envision an optimistic future and ensure each project considers what the typology and context will look like in 50 years. 3. If energy is costly, using less should save money. If not, we need to reassess if our efforts are genuinely energy-efficient or just misleading. 4. People are becoming increasingly disconnected from the production processes around them. The current energy and economic crisis is shifting us back to a culture of self-sufficiency. #architecturematters24 #saltarchitects #architecture #futurecities

New home in Stilbaai for two families. A shared outside living “room” becomes the knuckle that connects the two humble dwellings. #saltarchitects #architecturecapetown #architecture #residentialproject #architecturesa #modernhomes #housedesign #stilbaai
