See more photographs Laingsburg is a rural Karoo town 280km from Cape Town on the N1. Its history dates back to the mid-1700’s, when the area was established to grow fresh produce for farmers in the region. The site ERF1884 is located on the corner of Main Street and Third Avenue, Goldnerville - the historically ‘non white’ [sic] area. The site was chosen after a process of community consultation. It was an old rugby field which had two existing shed-like structures. We were tasked with transforming these existing structures into a dynamic environment, which would attract travellers and the local residents alike. (See CS Studio)
