arbara and Rob Farrell, the respective MDs of the UDEC and Neurospine groups,
approached architects Andrew Horne and Herman Groenewald of Architects
in Association (AiA) to design their new head offices in Paarl. The Farrells had
previously worked with Andrew Horne on the design of their own home in the nearby
Winelands Residential Estate.
The Farrells are very interested in architecture and technology and as such the
establishment of an engaging and creative relationship between them as clients and
the design team was critical to the design of the their home and the new joint head
offices for their companies. The creative partnership that was forged years ago while
working together on the design of their contemporary and largely camouflaged home
was critical to the design of the highly visible new office building in Zandwyk Industrial
Park on the southern outskirts of Paarl in the Western Cape.
