EIGHTY2 on M
Eighty2 on M is situated at 82 Main Road, in Sea Point. The project is designed with the belief that life’s most joyful moments happen in spaces that foster connection. The project embodies a vibrant community-focused landscape. The building provides several outdoor spaces from the lowered ground plain to first floor courtyards and a rooftop terrace.
Care was taken to ensure the building contributes to a vibrant and positive street edge. The public realm blends with the building’s atrium, inviting interaction. This space is complemented by public seating and colourful furniture, inviting visitors to have a coffee or take a moment to rest along bustling Main Road.
Further up Eighty2 on M, additional outdoor courtyard and terrace spaces provide conversation nooks, green urban spaces, and outdoor living areas. These provide residents with a safe, dynamic environment to meet, connect and rest —celebrating the everyday joy of living.
A soft landscaping strategy and planting pallets were developed and helped to inform the design of our outdoor spaces.
