44 Stanley Site Visit

Having heard the buzz of 44, the first site visit(15/07/22) was the first entrance into what JHB Live calls " Joburg's best kept secret." Evidently detached, or closed off rather from its surround, the enclave gives the bold impression of exclusivity.

The entrance from the busy Milpark through the fortress like wall and gate past the evident security is met with a space offering a slight contrast to that of its surround/ immediate context.

First impression of 44 Stanley

One gets the impression of being in an entirely different world, kept secret from the everyday user of Milpark or the surrounding nodes.
