The “Box” is a multi-storey commercial development located in Cape Town’s Central Business District, bordered by Riebeek Street, Lower Burg Street, Waterkant Street, and St. George’s Mall. The landscape intervention focuses on Riebeek Street and Lower Burg Street, which frame key public-facing elements of the building. Riebeek Street features restaurant spaces, while Lower Burg Street houses the building’s lobby and café spaces.

The landscape design aims to soften the building’s interface with its surroundings by introducing tree planting and lush landscaping. These elements create a green edge that bridges the scale of the tall structure with the pedestrian environment, enhancing the streetscape and fostering a more inviting and human-centered public realm.
