36 August 2022 Civil Engineering There are two commendations in this category: the Newlands Cricket Ground Development in Cape Town, entered by Stefanutti Stocks Western Cape, and the Sol Tech Training College in Pretoria, submitted by Jeremie Malan Architects. BUILDINGS UNDER R50 MILLION The judges were intrigued and im- pressed enough by the quaint KleinJAN Restaurant, in the vast Tswalu Private Game Reserve in the Kalahari, to make it the recipient of the Fulton Award in this category – not so much for its “objective visible concrete interventions but rather its concealed, hidden innovation in the vast open Kalahari Desert.” The unusual project was entered by the builders, Kobus Duvenhage Bouers. KleinJAN, owned by South African Michelin Star Chef Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen, was created on the site of a century-old farmhouse and is one of the smallest concrete struc- tures to win any category in the Fulton Awards’ 43-year-old history. The intimate restaurant features an underground dining room. INNOVATION AND INVENTION IN CONCRETE The Old Cape Quarter, an apartment building in the trendy Cape Quarter Lifestyle Precinct in De Waterkant, Cape Town, took the Fulton Award in this category. The judges’ citation hailed the many and “hugely innovative” techniques employed in the redevelop- ment of an existing heritage building by adding four storeys while still preserving and protecting the outer walls of the historic structure. AfriSam SA entered the project, owned by The Cape Quarter Property Company’s Tower Property Fund.
