Nestled in the suburb of Klein Windhoek, PMA designed this building to house office spaces for financial services within the ground and first floor of the northern wing, with loft apartments resting atop. The North-West facing facade has been meticulously crafted to allow for permeability and natural light, whilst keeping out the heat from Namibia’s interior.

Mixed-use buildings that blend office space with residential units are crucial in Namibia due to rapid urbanization and population growth. These developments optimize land use by combining functions, easing traffic congestion and reducing environmental impact. They also stimulate economic growth, create vibrant communities, and revitalize urban areas. By encouraging social interaction and sustainability through reduced car reliance, mixed-use buildings contribute to creating vibrant, sustainable, and economically robust cities in Namibia.
