Café Nush at Village WalkSPACE OF THE MONTH
Borrowdale text: Michael Nott

photography: Michele Fortmann

Village Walk in Borrowdale is the
newest, hippest shopping mall
in Harare. Designed by South
African-based, international architectural firm
Boogertman and Partners, and developed
by Terrace Africa and Mopani Properties, in
conjunction with local retail giant TM Pick n
Pay, it introduces a new concept in shopping
for Zimbabweans – the strip mall.

Anchored by Pick n Pay supermarket,
shoppers can also enjoy a host of other great
stores and services. There’s the drive-through
Chicken Inn take away, and there are banks,
an electronic specialist Solution Centre,
interior décor and design shops like Linden
Hope and TV Sales and Homes, The Outdoor
Shop, print specialists PrintWorks, Art Attack
for art supplies, sports shops Adidas and
Mark Manolios, a pharmacy, a medical centre
and an optician. To pamper yourself there’s
Matsimela Home Spa, Veldemeers delicious
chocolates and pastries and Gelato Crema
for Italian ice cream and coffee.

But the star of the show is undoubtedly the
fabulous new Café Nush situated just below
the North tower. It’s the sister cafe of the
iconic Cafe Nush in Avondale – the trendiest
place for people watching and to see and
be seen. Like the Avondale Nush the new
Village Walk branch is perfect for socialising
and enjoying great food in a cool, relaxed
atmosphere. It’s the ideal place to meet up
with friends for a coffee and a decadent slice
of cake – or a fresh juice for the more health
conscious. There’s a range of pizzas and light
meals, as well as a more substantial menu
for supper, and its family friendly too with a
selection for kids. The kitchen and the pizza
oven are visible from the restaurant so you
can watch your food being expertly prepared.

It’s the brain child of the very talented Abed
Khalatbari who has extensive experience
in the restaurant and hospitality industries.
Abed has designed a number of residential
projects in Cape Town, before designing
Cafe Nush Avondale and later expanding its

FORECOURT

ENTERANCE

The forecourt is on the same level as the outside walkway and
although it’s quite busy with the staff moving around the seating
tends to feel more intimate than the other areas. The forecourt has
glass fronted display cabinets full of mouth-watering cakes and
delicacies, and it’s also the closest to the pizza oven, the coffee
corner and the open kitchen visible beyond. The counter between
the forecourt and the kitchen is clad in vertical pale wood strips
which add a touch of warmth and softness. There’s a small bar
counter with simple steel and wood stools on the west side which
separates the forecourt from the pavement or verandah area.
The floor is made up of pale terracotta-coloured ceramic tiles and
industrial light fittings hang overhead. Above the counter big black
metal half spheres form the lampshades and small unobtrusive
spot lights illuminate the menu boards, while above the seating
area hangs an industrial looking fitting with exposed cables and
uncovered Edison type bulbs.

The floor of the verandah section is an extension of the pavements
in the mall complex and simple small downlighters are set into the
concrete slab ceiling. This section has the most informal furniture
with small tables and polypropylene italian outdoor furniture. The
raised balcony floor of composite wooden decking and the clear
plastic blinds make this section feel the most closely connected to
the outside. A sturdy brushed steel banister separates the interior
from the exterior making the balcony feel more secure, while still
relating to the contemporary design of the complex.

The heart of the cafe is the raised central deck which is perfect
for people watching. Wooden laminate strip floors and wooden
furniture in a simple Danish style make this the section with the
warmest, softest look. Simple banisters of teak uprights with steel
cables between them define this area and give an almost nautical
impression.

District are easily accessible and there are a number of financial
and business complexes close by. Its a few minutes from the new
medical centre on Kingsmead Lane and there are several very
good schools nearby.

Everything you need is in the neighbourhood and yet the home has
a quiet and relaxed, almost country-living ambiance. The home is
situated in a large landscaped garden of just over two and a half
acres with two boreholes and several beautiful mature trees. A high
wall separates the garden from the roadside so it’s quiet, secure
and peaceful. Access to the property is through an impressive pair
of tall, solid, wooden electric gates which create an imposing and

which continue through most of the home.
From the entrance hall a staircase with dark
wood balustrades leads up to the second
floor bedrooms. There’s a guest bathroom off
the foyer and a short passage leads to the
master suite. The main bedroom is generously
proportioned and has a large en suite bathroom
decorated in a classic black and white design,
a dressing room and an adjoining private study
or home office. The study is sunken down a
short flight of steps and has its own private
entrance. Although currently a study it could be
repurposed as a private ‘slipper lounge’ making
the master suite entirely self contained.
Also on the ground floor are the spacious
formal lounge and the large dining room, both
of which have elegant working fireplaces.

34 structure & design

Between the lounge and the dining room is a reading room
or study which functions well as a second home office. This
room has double wood and glass doors either side and it
has doors out to the garden. The dining room leads out to a
generous enclosed verandah area with terracotta floor tiles
and drop down canvas blinds with clear plastic ‘windows’.
Its currently decorated as an indoor/outdoor lounge and
dining area with views over the garden. It’s perfect for
informal al fresco dining and entertaining or just relaxing
with a good book or an evening sundowner.

Also on the ground
floor is a large well
equipped kitchen with
black granite counters
and modern, updated,

There’s a centre island
with seating, perfect
for a family breakfast
or informal meals.

Outside the master suite a second staircase

additional bedrooms upstairs, both with their en
suite bathrooms and a small private lounge area
in between.

PROPERTY GUIDE This is a gracious and mature home, solidly built, with
a steeply pitched tiled roof which accommodates the
upstairs bedrooms. Lead paned windows, the two
sweeping staircases and the generously proportioned
rooms make this an ideal family home with elegant style
and old world charm.
This unique family home is priced at $700,000.

STANBIC REVAMPS HOME LOANS FACILITIES

Stanbic Bank Zimbabwe has revamped their home loans offering in a bid to encompass both existing and
prospective home owners.

In an interview held in the capital, the acting Head of Personal and Business banking, Mr. Patson Mahatchi
explained that the bank has increased its home equity loan offering from 30% up to 50% in a move aimed
at assisting existing home owners to access financial assistance for urgent needs in this currently difficult
environment.

“We are aware that home owners hold assets which they can use to get funding to support their financial
needs. Selling properties off is not always an option for the average Zimbabwean so we are making efforts to
assist home owners with financing through the idea of “re-mortgaging” their properties instead of having to
sell”, said Patson.

Patson indicated that the financial institution has so far disbursed approximately $1million under the home
equity loan scheme and is dedicated to invest more to qualifying applicants.

In addition to the Stanbic home equity loan, the bank also offers property improvement loans that assist
clients to renovate or refurbish their properties. The bank also supports prospective home owners by giving
them the opportunity to purchase already constructed properties through a property purchase loan facility.

In an economy where fixed assets like real estate are proving to be the most viable investments, Stanbic
Bank is giving its customers an opportunity to be house owners by offering diversified home loan packages.

Mahatchi said that the purchase of a property is a great achievement which is not difficult to attain when one
has the financial advice the bank has to offer. “Rentals can be translated into loan repayments which is a
great idea given that one will have attained home owner status and the benefits that it brings,” he reiterated.

The Bank says that customers also benefit from the institution’s partnership with reputable suppliers of
building materials as well as established and reputable real estate companies.

The country has been marred by bogus land barons, a development which has seen a large number of
Zimbabweans being stripped of their hard earned cash through fraudulent property deals from cunning
conmen and bogus property barons, a development which has caused many countrymen to shy away from
acquiring properties.
