Architect and Builder June/July 2018 | Page 32

Access Access to Embassy Towers is from Empire Road, the main thoroughfare in Sandhurst directly off Rivonia Road, which acts as the link road of the Sandton CBD and other parts of the city and freeway system. The arrival is celebrated by a large modern glass and steel Porte-cochère, while the drop-off is softened by the inclusion of the soothing 32 water feature. Visitors are able to park in front of the building while the residents are provided with secure, access controlled underground parking in the two basements below the building. While security is paramount, the process is made as seamless as possible through the introduction of an integrated biometric system for access to basements, lifts and entrance doors to apartments.
