Design
The 12-storey apartment building is a seamless
blend between contemporary and timeless
charm creating an architectural gem with amazing
exposure over the skyline of Sandton. The
timelessness of Embassy Towers is amplified by
the sleek and simple proportions of the building
ensuring that the architecture will age gracefully,
while the large window expanses allow ample light
into the building making a luxurious statement for
those that occupy it. The apartments all have large
glazed windows to the north and south, ensuring
that the units enjoy the range of different light
offered at different times of the day and the
different seasons of the year.
The extensive Volakas marble cladding creates
a sense of grandeur and timelessness while the
large expanses of glass give the building a more
modern look. The two seamlessly work together to
create a building with the cla ssic proportions that
are offset by the contemporary elements such as
the large overhanging horizontal concrete pergola
roof which give the building a distinctive presence
and typology within the city.
Oriented perfectly to maximise the northern
aspect, the 90 unit apartment building enjoys full
benefit of the sun as well as views over Sandton
in the foreground and the rest of the city in 360ยบ.
Apartments are arranged around five central
observation lift cores with two apartments per
core, creating an exclusive entry from basement
levels directly to apartments. Biometric access
control on the lifts gives residents maximum
privacy and security.

light penetrates deeply into the apartment from
north and south. The interconnected lounge,
