The building frames a 5-level central atrium
which houses the main reception softened with
lush trees, some informal lounges, a staff
restaurant and provides access to the bank of
glass lifts. The office levels wrap around the
central core and atrium, linked from the north
to the south through the atrium by bridges, with
the top two office levels capping the atrium
allowing more floor area. The glass lifts and
bridges create a visual link for users and visitors
of the building to the atrium and office levels.
There are two landscaped terraces located
on the eastern and western ends of the building
at atrium level which function as spill-out areas
for the new McDonald’s concept outlet and the
building’s business centre. located on this level.
The floor plates juxtapose highly linear
Northern spaces and faceted Southern zones,
thus providing for the perfect mix of flexible
open plan organisation and the need for
breakaway areas containing meeting rooms,
pause areas and the like. with panoramic views
across Sandton and the West Rand.
The exterior of the building consists of a
combination of two bold tones of tiling creating
strong geometric forms and crisp glass elements.
