Modern studio apartment in the CBD. The Barracks is an architectural masterpiece that has lovingly blended heritage and modernism. With a vertical separation, the modern new structure floats above the parapet line, ensuring that the old and new stand out.
The visually 'light' glazing skin and sloping facade's envelope have been setback from Strand Street to preserve and highlight the historic scape of the 18th-century Lutheran Church. When you walk into The Barracks, you're drawn in by the ceilings made of authentic yellowwood beams from the 1700s, and a connection of moments in history appears in various exposed nodes throughout the building, where natural clay brick, sea sand, and even sea shells make up a structure that has now become one of Cape Town's most iconic structures.
