FOCUS ON: STEYN CITY’S CITY CENTRE ADVERTORIAL

A new future in city living From the expansive exterior to the plush interiors of its 700 apartments, Steyn City’s City Centre is a celebration of extraordinary design WORDS AND PHOTOS: SUPPLIED

S

teyn City is known for pushing boundaries; for innovating, creating and doing things differently. This ethos was evident when the time came to determine design interiors for the new City Centre: Steyn City Properties CEO Giuseppe Plumari was adamant that they should reflect the development’s unique character with a clear and discernable emphasis on luxury and comfort.

DESIGN CHALLENGE With this in mind, eight of SA’s leading interior experts – Stephen Falcke, Lesley Carstens and Silvio Rech, Buzwe Mabuza, Yvonne O’Brien, Amanda Elliott, Bilala Mabuza, Donald Nxumalo and Ayesha Nobanda – were brought on board to design the interiors of eight City Centre apartments, ranging from penthouses to one-bedroom homes. The catch? None

was given a brief – instead, they were asked to create a home for the homeowner they imagine to be the typical City Centre resident.

The results are as varied as they are beautiful. From the cosmopolitan jetsetter to the art lover, from the young executive marching her way up the corporate ladder to the couple who appreciates life’s finer pleasures, and ultimately the family seeking a safe haven where they can live their lives to the fullest – all are represented here by interiors that explore the full spectrum of extremes; from unabashed opulence to understated elegance.

BREATHING SPACE What each outstanding home has in common, however, is having been designed by the City Centre’s forward-thinking architects whose primary concern was to create an apartment that feels spacious.

With high ceilings and

doorways and rooms large enough to fit a king-size bed (and extra furnishings), this is a new take on apartment living that becomes a permanent address – one where the convenience synonymous with these homes is given a new dimension with the addition of room to breathe.

ENDLESS AMENITIES Of course, this is augmented by the many features that make the City Centre such a special address, including rooftop pools and triple biometric security.

Then there are the facilities available in the broader Steyn City parkland. These include the 2,000 acre indigenous parkland itself (effectively giving City Centre residents access to one of the largest gardens in SA), the 18-hole Nicklaus design championship golf course with its award-winning clubhouse, the equestrian centre with a clubhouse,

outdoor gym stations, a fully equipped gym, a 45km floodlit promenade for running and walking, cycling on the 50km MTB track, a choice of eateries, an indoor aquatic centre, outdoor play nodes and a skate park for kids and teens.

There are also on-site offices at Capital Park and the Steyn City School campus.

The cherry on top? The recently launched Ultimate Helistop, offering scheduled flights to your next business meeting or weekend getaway, and the new 300m Lagoon powered by GAST Clearwater™, which make every day feel like a holiday, and it’s a short walk away from your City Centre front door. Apartment prices range from R2.3m to R35m.

All of this is showcased at the City Centre’s new Brand Experience Centre – ideal for those who wish to explore the latest Steyn City development and its offerings at a high level.

HOMEFRONT PROPERTY NEWS

Winelands welcomes new town-style development T

he recently launched Devonbosch is a new mixed-use development in the heart of the Stellenbosch Winelands offering residents a lifestyle where retail, business and recreation are all part of the deal.

Situated on the corner of the R304 and the Bottelary Road, it links easily onto the N1 highway, making it both accessible and visible.

“Once completed, Devonbosch will be a

vibrant and economically sustainable town, offering residents world-class innovation with a vision that encompasses some 80ha of green parklands and waterways – an urban playground in the heart of the Winelands,” says Pieter van der Westhuizen, MD of Square Turn Developments.

GENTLER ON NATURE The development is designed to ease the demands on the

environment by managing water resources, providing sustainable energy and implementing internal waste recycling measures.

The commitment to sustainability also extends into the design of buildings through environmentally sound practices such as the installation of double-glazed windows, photovoltaic panels, smart cooling and heating installations and other initiatives.

WALK EVERYWHERE A progressive, fullyfledged mixeduse precinct, the expansive Devonbosch accommodates a wide range of home and amenity choices in close proximity to each other and within an integrated, walkable environment.

“Walkability is a quality found in mostly older and established world cities and towns.

We all love to visit and explore them on foot, but it is something we’ve forgotten when we’re building for ourselves.

We give preference to the car instead,” says Van der Westhuizen. “We, as a 21st century society, have overlooked the pleasures of a lingering walk amid our busy routines, which we believe can be reintroduced at Devonbosch.”

Devonbosch is committed to ensuring public spaces remain decluttered and free of cars by providing convenient parking options beneath buildings or behind structures to keep vehicles out of sight.

Broad and open walkways for pedestrians and cyclists throughout the development encourage everyone to get active, and to use the

parks as breakout areas.

All the buildings are linked by multiple access roads, pedestrian walkways and various modes of public transport, so it is easy to get everywhere on foot.

SAFETY IN COMMUNITY When it comes to safety and security, the development will be linked to a smart-camera surveillance system that monitors the precinct 24/7.

As it is an urban town and not a gated security estate, access is not restricted during the day.

Normal on-site activity and a sense of community responsibility ensure that all suspicious behaviour is reported to an on-site security team while maintaining the sense of an open, suburban area.

After hours, access is restricted at the main entrance where people and vehicles are recorded and only granted access for valid reasons. Patrols take place during the night.

STAY FOREVER The development will offer bespoke residential units for all stages of life.

“Over time, there will be

a combination of small apartments available for single people and larger units for families,” says Van der Westhuizen. “As you progress through the various stages of life, there will be a residential option tailor-made for you.

Similarly for businesses, varied commercial options will cater for expansion and downscaling.”

BACK TO BUSINESS Devonbosch offers custom-made business premises to meet the needs of both young start-up businesses and multinational corporations.

“Since inception, the decision was taken to invest in an urban design framework to ensure that these qualities are always front of mind,” says Van der Westhuizen. “These features add value to how we live, work and play.”

Devonbosch is located on one of the last large vacant portions of land on the urban edge of Stellenbosch. “It’s a project for the broader Winelands and a prime opportunity to repurpose and rehabilitate industrial land, and at the same time uplift the broader Koelenhof community,” he says.

Design and art show heads for Joburg T

he Design Joburg Collective: Summer Edition (DJC) will be showcasing the latest in local and global design and art, including debut collections from some of SA’s most promising art and design aficionados, in Kramerville, Johannesburg from October 28 to 31.

Art Joburg’s Open City will be in full swing during this time too, exhibiting at 26 complementary art galleries and institutions across Johannesburg. www. designjoburgcollective.com
