tower in the Johannesburg distance . A double volume showroom with a floating loft and two East-facing courtyards , blurring the lines between built and landscape , an indigenous garden and trees connecting natural textures within the building - the green boxes acting to interplay thresholds of open and closed while also incorporating passive cooling and ventilation functions . Soon the trees planted within these courtyards will grow to stretch above the building ( and the romantic Titanic-like balcony ), while creeping vines will grow along the brick façade and mingles into the timber
screening . The building permeates seamlessly onto the street , pairing aesthetic finesse , identity and expression with tectonic resolution of space making and function .
The Oggie building responds to context and the public realm , while creating a wonderfully light and open , architectural interesting space that is adjustable , meeting the requirement to easily share the limelight by showcasing Oggie ’ s product displays . Timber screens soften the brick façade , featuring Oggie ’ s outdoor product range while keeping corporate signage
