STARGAZERS RETREAT Nestled amidst the rugged Tankwa Padstal, Stargazers Retreat is an oasis that embraces the vast expanse of the Karroo. This visionary project seamlessly blends brutalist architecture with the oasis concept, offering an urban escape to the desert’s tranquil night sky. Throughout the retreat, water’s life-affirming embrace is woven into the design, gracing interior courtyards and reflective pools that resonate with the desert’s enduring heartbeat.

STARGAZERS RETREAT OVERVIEW Project Type Location Year

Residential Lodge Tankwa Karoo 2023

An oasis nestled within the rugged Tankwa Padstal embraces the Karroo. This visionary project seamlessly melds brutalist architecture with the oasis concept, offering an urban escape to the desert’s serene night sky. Water’s life-affirming embrace is woven throughout, adorning interior courtyards and reflective pools that echo the desert’s resilient heartbeat.

Purposeful stargazing platforms frame a celestial migration, inviting a departure from the city lights to the Karoo’s profound night sky. “STARGAZERS RETREAT” uniquely honours Khoisan astrology, celebrating indigenous wisdom through culturally enriched spaces that foster connection and understanding. This is more than architecture; it’s a journey—a transformative retreat that harmonises the modern world with Khoisan heritage and invites you to rediscover the universe’s forgotten whispers beneath the brilliant expanse of stars.

SOFTWARE EXPLORATION

Portfolio | Irvin Shabangu

Selected Works| Grasshopper exploration

PARAMETIC EXPLORATION USING GRASSHOPPER-I The parametric exploration presents versatile applications. It may serve as the focal point of an installation project, manifesting as a large-scale rendition of the form. Alternatively, it can be adapted into a refined wall lamp or lantern, achieved through the crafting of a smaller-scale iteration with the incorporation of a light source

This experimental pavilion, a synthesis of visionary design and Rhino Grasshopper’s computational finesse, embodies the graceful dance of magnetic lines. Through meticulous parametric modelling, a harmonious fusion of form and function emerges, defying convention and inviting contemplation. This architectural marvel stands as a testament to the transformative potential of marrying visionary concepts with cutting-edge technology, offering a spatial narrative that seamlessly integrates with its environment.
