This building location was critical to the Rewardsco vision as it occupies the most visible corner of the site . Its location relative to uMhlanga Rocks Drive meant that all public movement along this key traffic corridor had unobstructed views of the development whether travelling north or south along the route . Excellent signage opportunities and views both into and out of the new building meant that the final architectural statement was critical to the successful realisation of the design brief outlined four years before . Rewardsco ’ s
original vision that all three structures and the spaces which linked them would create a micro precinct was now a reality .
As with their existing facility the consultant team was given the target of obtaining a 4 star green building rating to demonstrate a commitment to environmental sustainability . Ultimately the central block has received a 5 star design rating and the project team are confident that this final development will also achieve that 5 star rating .
