Parking at the Cape Grace, Cape Town, V&A Waterfront.

Elegant! The grey cobbles are parking spaces. The red bricks define the boundary of each space. The light brown pebbles are walkways.

 

And like good design everywhere, it's functional as well as attractive and instructive.

 

Last week there was a problem with some service lines. Workers took up a couple rows of bricks, fixed the problem and relaid the paving. The whole problem was solved without a trace within 48 hours.
