The Quadrant House is a Grade II listed building situated in Durban, South Africa. [1] [2] [3]
The building, erected in 1929, was commissioned by H. Live and designed by architect Ritchie McKinlay. [4] It is assumed that its original purpose was to be a naval training school. [3]
The building is located on the Victoria Embankment in Durban's city centre. [5] It occupies a lot with the shape of a quarter circle or quadrant, from which it derives its name. It is considered one of the epitomes of the so-called Berea Style, a local declination of the Art Deco style which emerged from local interest in Spanish colonial architecture as found on the West coast of North America.
