Description of the Project
TKLA's approach to this project was to create outdoor hubs of gathering and refuge that reinforce the sense of a safe space.
These landscape 'rooms' are structured around a central movement spine, a predominantly hard landscaped area, collectively evoking the sense of being held and eventually celebrated within a village. Assessment of the finished work A collaborative process was employed to ensure equal priority for the landscape architectural and architectural visions. With CCNIA Architects the meticulously designed outdoor 'rooms' seamlessly blend hard landscaping with human-scale architecture, allowing for effortless movement between a multitude of functional spaces.

The design of the buildings and outdoor spaces give consideration to the site's topographical variations and prevailing winds, creating a multitude of sitting and gathering opportunities across different areas. For the soft landscaping, a thorough study of the site’s endemic vegetation and natural systems was done to determine a plant palette that would thrive in the otherwise harsh and dry Cape Flats landscape.

Additionally, an integrated water harvesting system is employed for irrigation purposes, complemented by a drainage soak-away system within the planting beds and the use of permeable paving in vehicular areas, all contributing to groundwater recharge. In this way, the landscape contributes not only to a sense of well-being for those visiting The Hope Centre, as well as the surrounding community.

The project has resulted in the Delft community having a home away from home, a meaningful space to feel held, safe, and celebrated.
