Construction is about to begin on The Fynbos, a unique and innovative building located in Cape Town’s CBD.
The Fynbos is set to be the first biophilic building on the African continent, incorporating natural lighting and ventilation, natural landscape features and other elements to create a more productive and healthy built environment for people. In addition to the vertical garden, The Fynbos will boast a waterfall at the front reception of the building, which will provide white noise for the building’s inhabitants.
Integrated PV solar panels will generate double the electricity quota needed to power the common areas, minimising fossil fuel consumption, and a central heated water system will allow for economies of scale and avoids individual geysers.
