Nestled in the serene suburb of Honeydew, North Western Johannesburg, Eagle Canyon offers a lifestyle of luxury and tranquility. As a golf and residential haven, it boasts an illustrious 18-hole golf course, lavish parks, and several modern amenities, making it an opulent address in Roodepoort, Gauteng.
In line with the estate’s pursuit of excellence, Gabion Baskets was brought on board to bring a touch of our signature craftsmanship to a unique project within this sanctuary.
The Mission
Amidst the vast expanse of Eagle Canyon‘s properties, stood a boundary wall punctuated by existing pillars. The need? To elevate this space, turning it into a feature that marries aesthetics with function.
Enter Clinton Cheyne, Operations Manager for Gabion Baskets, with a vision to redefine this space.
He elaborates on the project, saying, “I’m here at Eagle Canyon, this is a boundary wall in between existing pillars. The client contacted us and wanted a feature wall. So, we recommended an ornamental rock with a welded mesh to match their existing cladding. We’ve got two feature walls here in front and two at the side.”
The Gabion Approach
Clinton’s detailed account gives an insight into the meticulous process adopted. “As you can see, all the walls are hand-packed rock within a 50x50x3mm welded mesh. It’s all been roll-bolted and drilled into the wall to secure it in place on either side. It’s a 250mm thick double-brick layered wall with the gabions sitting on top.”
The Verdict
The finished feature walls stand as a beacon of Gabion Baskets‘ commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. Within the grandeur of Eagle Canyon, they add a layer of sophistication and function, seamlessly integrating with the estate’s architectural aesthetics.
As Eagle Canyon continues to set the bar high for luxurious living in Gauteng, Gabion Baskets is proud to have etched its mark, affirming that when it comes to blending functionality with aesthetics, we’re the name to trust.
