Rosendal Blue Plaque - Nikeel Gokul
 

Rosendal, designed in 1988 by architect Michael Sutton, is a townhouse scheme in the Highveld vernacular. Its simplicity and human scale reflect lessons Sutton learned while working with Steffan Ahrens early in his career, and which he developed in a series of low-rise projects in Johannesburg, starting in the 1960s. Rosendal displays a playful combination of Cape Dutch references and post-modern details, for instance in the corbelled brick arch (visible from the road), stepped gables and varied placement of windows, which break the uniformity typical of rowhouse form.
