Atlantica Beachfront Apartments

Exceptional architecture with a maritime character

Around half an hour’s drive from Cape Town and located directly on the seafront of the 40 kilometre wide False Bay can be found the ‘Strand’ holiday resort and commercial centre. The Atlantica, a luxurious apartment block located right at the water’s edge, has existed here for just about a year now. The 16-storey construction offers a futuristic sky-scraper look while the sail-like façade provides it with a unique maritime character, perfectly in keeping with the environs.


Prominent Features


Aesthetics and safety

Thirty spacious apartments and two penthouses have been incorporated in the bold design created by architect Bartel Viljoen of the Albertyn Viljoen partnership, with an additional mezzanine being provided on the top floor. The high-quality building services equipment includes advanced communications convenience with 24-hour LAN connection to the internet. Particular attention has been given over to safety: the fire and emergency exit doors have been fitted with the DORMA PHA 2000 cross bar panic hardware system that is also used in highly sensitive areas such as hotels. Ensuring perfection down to the last detail, DORMA EM 500 A electromagnets also guarantee reliable and efficient door hold-open.
