RHEINZINK-prePATINA graphite-grey
The Nelson Mandela Capture Site Centre and Museum is located about 3km north of Howick, South Africa. As it stands on the site where Mandela was arrested in 1962, it has a powerful charisma. The aim was to create a building with an imposing appearance that would express the historical significance of this site and withstand the stresses of the climate.
All of these requirements are met by RHEINZINK-prePATINA, which was used in the colour graphite-grey for the façade as well as the roof.
