博物馆内有9500平方米的定制设计空间，分布在9层楼，由历史悠久的粮仓建筑群的纪念碑结构雕刻而成。这个筒仓从1990年起就被废弃了，它是开普敦工业历史的纪念碑。开普敦曾经是南非最高的建筑，现在通过Heatherwick Studio的改造给了它新的生命。

The museum is housed in 9,500 sq metres of custom designed space, spread over nine floors, carved out of the monumental structure of the historic Grain Silo Complex. The silo, disused since 1990, stands as a monument to the industrial past of Cape Town, at one time the tallest building in South Africa, now given new life through the transformation by Heatherwick Studio.

博物馆中心的画廊和中庭空间都是由42根管子组成的筒仓的密集细胞结构雕刻而成的。该发展项目包括八十个展览厅的六千平方米展览空间、天台雕塑花园、最先进的储存及保育区、一间书店、一间餐厅、酒吧及阅览室。博物馆还将设有服装学院、摄影、卓越策划、运动形象、表演实践和艺术教育中心。

The galleries and the atrium space at the centre of the museum have been carved from the silos’ dense cellular structure of forty-two tubes that pack the building. The development includes 6,000 sq metres of exhibition space in 80 gallery spaces, a rooftop sculpture garden, state of the art storage and conservation areas, a bookshop, a restaurant, bar, and reading rooms. The museum will also house Centres for a Costume Institute, Photography, Curatorial Excellence, the Moving Image, Performative Practice and Art Education.

2013年11月宣布的Zeitz MOCAA 5亿兰特(3000万英镑)开发项目是在V公司的合作下创建的。

The R500 million (£30 million) development of Zeitz MOCAA, announced in November 2013, has been created in a partnership between the V&A Waterfront and Jochen Zeitz, as a not-for-profit public cultural institution in the heart of one of most visited cultural and historical hubs in Africa. Set on the edge of a natural, historic working harbour, with the iconic Table Mountain as its backdrop, and sweeping views of the ocean, city bowl and mountain peaks, V&A Waterfront attracts up to 100,000 people a day.
