Too many buildings look impressive when handed over to the client, but become a liability once they get older. With their nature-inspired approach, StudioMAS Architects want to challenge our notion of beauty by not covering up cracks and imperfections but rather integrated them into their design. We visited Tramways on Trafalgar in Woodstock, a vibey but still rough area of Cape Town where StudioMAS newest project is to transform an old factory hall into several offices, spaces and a public square with character.
