An existing staircase connects the two floors and as one exits the staircase on first floor the occupant again experiences the courtyard but also a framed view to the forecourt of the Embizweni Building . A glazed link enhances the experience leading to the offices . A large general office space is surrounded by private offices and a staff kitchen . A bridge link leads to 3 private offices and is suspended over the atrium , again allowing the occupant a view over the courtyard . Light and ventilation to the offices is controlled by ribbon windows which are placed at desk height , allowing the occupant views across the campus and also eliminating the need for additional ventilation .
