Along the main urban artery of Adderley Street , the building echoes the horizontal nature of the station concourse and reflects the scale of the buildings opposite . The northern façade relates to the height of the 60m Paul Sauer building and views of Table Mountain , while the southern façade steps down to relate to the buildings on Adderley Street . The eastern elevation is scaled according to the city blocks on the skyline , but also in relation to the large , flat expanse of the station platform and to the rhythm and proportions of the existing concourse building ’ s sandstone façade panels . From the ground to the fourth storey , the building creates a frame for the square .
