H&A Cutting Works

This diamond polishing facility consists of an exhibition building, an office building and a factory space as well as a staff canteen with a complete industrial kitchen and recreational space for the staff.

The home of H & A Cutting Works in Botswana is arranged like that of a traditional home in Botswana. It is a collection of houses with their own forms arranged within a homestead. The lolwapa. The approach to the complex is introduced by the Exhibition house. In form it is a direct homage to the traditional setswana house. In its use of materials, it turns to the contemporary with the curved cement plastered wall cut by long elements of glass.
