Finishes

Challenges
At design stage there was the challenge of creating two entry points from the two roads ie Shimoni and Yusuf Lule roads. Being locaetgd in a busy are of the City, traffic control posed its own set of challenges while the abundant rains did not make moving earthworks including cutting and excavations easy.
