Formerly the Craft Market and Wellness Centre, commonly known as the Blue Shed and adjacent unused Workshop 17, this historic warehouse structure has been totally reimagined by Wolff Architects. The new open-ended building includes a transformation of the double volume height, with a 100m long skylight ensuring an abundance of natural light and the southern façade sheeting replaced by glass overlooking the Robinson Dry Dock and Table Mountain.
The R50 million Watershed development will house some 150 traders, commercial offices, 1000m2 of dedicated exhibition and eventing space, and Workshop 17, the innovation collaboration with the UCT’s Graduate School of Business.
