Cape Agulhas Competition — National Parks Board · Third Place

A competition proposal for a new visitor centre at Cape Agulhas for the National Parks Board, awarded third place.

The scheme arranges low-scale buildings around a sheltered gathering space, keeping the architecture subordinate to the dramatic landscape at Africa's southernmost point.

A timber viewing deck extends from the complex toward the sea, framing the meeting of the two oceans.
