Today, we celebrate the power of the young minds shaping South Africa’s future.

We remember the courage and bravery of the youth in 1976, who stood in pursuit of a better and more just South Africa. Their legacy lives on in every youth striving to learn, grow, and make a difference.

Happy Youth Day🇿🇦

A look back at where it all began🤩

This fly-through showcases our proposal for the redevelopment of Newlands Cricket Ground; a vision that explored how one of Cape Town’s widely recognised sports precincts could evolve while respecting its rich heritage.

Although the project has progressed since these early renders, it’s always fascinating to revisit the concepts that started the conversation and see how the vision has developed over time.

To all celebrating, we wish you a joyful and blessed Eid ul Adha✨

Introducing our new series: Studio Rewind! We will be revisiting the projects that have shaped Jakupa’s legacy in the built environment.

With the 2026 World Cup approaching, we are reminiscing on the stadium that first brought the global stage to our own backyard: Cape Town Stadium - an iconic landmark that continues to define the city’s skyline; where architecture, engineering, and urban planning meet the Cape Town coastline🌊

In collaboration with Henri Comrie, Jakupa’s urban design scope was instrumental in shaping the precinct, including key inputs into the stadium, the elevated circle and pedestrian concourse, the NMT network relating to the precinct, and the Green Point Urban Park and Golf Course.

Following this, the architectural scope was successfully delivered in collaboration with Paragon Architects, Louis Karol Architects, Munnik Visser Architects, Henri Comrie, and GMP as the lead design architects.
