Disa Park, Residential towers in Vredehoek, South Africa
Three cylindrical residential towers named Blinkwater, Platteklip, and Silverstroom rise 55 meters high at the base of Table Mountain in Cape Town.
The construction of Disa Park in 1969 took advantage of suspended zoning regulations during Cape Town's housing crisis of the 1960s and 1970s.
The buildings earned local nicknames such as Pepper Pots and Toilet Rolls due to their circular shape protruding against the mountain backdrop.
The complex contains 287 apartments with amenities including a laundromat, clinic, sports facilities, gardens, and parking spaces for 340 vehicles.
The circular design of these towers minimizes wind impact, while their concrete panels incorporate materials that reference the mountain surfaces.
