In considering a specific site within the chosen site, one has considered the part of the site where the dividing features between the site and its context stand out most prominently. The western edge of the 44 Stanley precinct, with its back turned towards Milpark, a high fortress poses an interesting challenge. This boundary will be considered as the interface wherewith to initiate design proposals. Other qualities of selected portion of site:
- Visible from Barry Hertzog highway, allowing visual opportunities and a wider audience for which the museum is to narrate the story of Johannesburg.

| Edge condition: High Fortress walls, cutting site off from context |
 |
| Site: Lies across from an active node. Highway acting as another boundary between site and context
- Chosen portion of the site along active routes to and from high active nodes. High pedestrian, vehicle and public transportation network along the edv
|
Available space on the edge of site provides opportunity for intervention where the museum may be both outside and within the site simultaneously. Slope of site also offers landscape oportunities.
