T
he building was launched in 2015 as the first major development by
the Regiments Real Estate division. A refreshingly light and sustainably
driven building, 35 Ferguson differs from many company headquarters as
it is a multi-tenanted building with numerous examples of efficient uses of space
between the tenants. These include:
• A common client reception
• Client centre with a shared boardrooms offering
• A communal training room that seats 200 guests; this offers a great space for mass
conferencing, training of staff, as well as a host of other required uses by the occupants
of the building.
• A restaurant on the roof of the building that offers canteen facilities for occupants in
the building as well as a facility available for bespoke events
ARCHITECTURAL REPORT
Client Brief
The brief was to design an A-grade office building with a leasable area of 7,400m2.
The challenge put to the architectural team at StudioMAS was to develop the site to
its optimum bulk and to create a cost effective and desirable working environment that
could be easily adaptable to accommodate multiple tenants. The building was also to
become the new offices of Regiments, the developers of the building, with other levels
offered for sub-letting and/or sectional title ownership.
