African project Waverley Office Park Phase 1 VISIBLE The design process Once the client had established what sizes of buildings they felt were most marketable we could proceed with our design. The biggest asset of the site is its exposure to the M1 freeway close to the Corlett Drive off-ramp. The building would be particularly visible to vehicles on the freeway and especially so at peak hours when vehicles are queuing on the highway unable to move.
