A look at the sleek new skyscraper proposed for Cape Town
Developments in Cape Town are reaching for the sky, with the latest proposal from RAS Architects delivering a 192 metre tall skyscraper office building called Cullinan Square, on what is currently only known as ‘Site D’ in the city.
According to RAS, the 42 floor tower is designed to be a mixed-use development, and would be the tallest building in the city – trumping the yet-to-be developed Zero2one, which is expected to reach 148 metres.
One of the major stumbling blocks around constructing a tall building in the mother city is dealing with the severe winds.
RAS said the orientation and shape of the tower has been designed in collaboration with engineers to deal with the winds “in an economic manner” – while also keeping the city’s famous views of Table Mountain and the surrounds.
