Zonk'izizwe

Midrand, Gauteng, South Africa

 

A distinctive curvilinear shape defines the core of Zonk’izizwe, giving an unmistakably African imprint to this branded town center development between Johannesburg and Pretoria. The Gautrain station and rapid rail link between the two cities is integral to the design and development of the master plan. The vital heart of a larger master-planned community encompassing gated residential, office, retail, and mixed-use components, Zonk’izizwe transforms a plot of prairie hillside into a one-of-a-kind mixed-use destination. Sustainable development and “Green” architecture figure prominently in the Zonk’izizwe design, with innovations like bio-water recycling/purification and solar power energy contributions. Zonk’izizwe’s renewable resource management, energy efficient strategies and a pervasive conservation ethic sets a new standard for the future of eco-friendly South African development.
