The Pencil is a private members club spread across the top two floors of a residential tower, positioned on the highest point in Durban, South Africa. Located at Umhlanga Arch and surrounded by floor to ceiling glass, the views of Durban are 360degrees and need to be experienced to grasp the uniqueness of the setting. The striking interior architecture and design was done in collaboration with Mobius.
