The project incorporates many other sustainable
design features and systems involved in the day
to day operation of the building, such as the
harvesting, treatment and reuse of rainwater
and excess irrigation water. The use of tactile
materials and the integration of planting and natural
light throughout the building, aims to give users
the feeling of being in nature, while situated in
the heart of Sandton.
Four air cooled chillers selected for high part
load performance serve the chilled and heating
water system for cooling and heating the spaces.
Basements are ventilated only when required
