New development on the Blok: Nineons

With an emphasis on compact urban living, the focus is on space throughout the apartment building's design, with a communal feel that aims to encourage neighbourly interaction. The eco-friendly focus is evident in the green construction methods and materials used; an ethos that extends right into mobility with the installation of BMW Electric Vehicle charging stations to encourage more people to drive less, or at the least drive electric.
The building is angled at 45 degrees ensuring that the North and West sun's rays equally benefit all apartments to maximise light and warmth for all residents. The building's vertical fins (a prominent design feature) offer privacy to each unit and a strong architectural aesthetic.

“We have found Green Point's community incredibly open to the ethos of shared spaces and working together for the good of the greater neighbourhood, and used this when conceptualising the Nineons design,” says Jacques van Embden, MD of Blok.
