Architect and Builder June/July 2019 | Page 52

The building height was limited to two floors (ground and first) with a small mezzanine and comprises two wings around a central entrance and vertical circulation core. UDEC is located on the first floor of the North wing while Neurospine occupies the West wing on the same level. The ground floor has a similar configuration to the first and offers 4 office spaces to the market. 52 Parking is provided in a landscaped court ensconced between the wings of the building and the wetland. The parking area is broken up by a swathe of concentrated green and a water feature in the fulcrum of the two wings. This provides a soft and cooling interface between the sparkling façades and the exposed aggregate of the paving. Excellent work by VIP Landscaping’s Attie van der Merwe. Lion's Pride
