In 2015, we were commissioned to develop the Dunkeld Public Realm Design Manual, which seeks to ensure a high quality, comfortable pedestrian environment as the precinct is developed. The Design Manual reinforces and complements creates effective pedestrian links between Rosebank and Illovo and formulates the delivery of a reliable and efficient public transport system along Oxford Road. To achieve this, the design manual defines a network of public spaces throughout the development and establishes public realm design guidelines for these and the streets and walkways that connect them.
‍

The Oxford Parks development draws on the guidance set out in the Design Manual. We designed a masterplan for Oxford Parks that extends the vibrant, pedestrian-friendly environment of Rosebank, in Johannesburg, along the Oxford Road corridor, linking it to the adjacent emerging retail and office node of Illovo. Situated between Cradock Avenue and Oxford Road, Oxford Parks creates a walkable, mixed-use town centre in Johannesburg's emerging multipolar structure.
