Architect and Builder Magazine South Africa March/April 2015 | Page 8

SURFACES FLOORING • CARPETS • TILES • L A M I N AT E Architect and Builder Launches Surfaces Supplement F rom May 2015, Architect and Builder Magazine will launch six topic-specific feature supplements - one with each issue of the magazine. For several years, clients have made queries regarding featuring in sector/product specific supplements or features. Based on this demand, we have developed six focused supplements which will be printed separately but delivered with the main magazine. This offers the benefit of the supplement getting greater exposure, whilst not impacting on the main magazine which will maintain its strong focus on commercial architectural projects. The format encourages advertorial content - providing readers with insight into a companies services and/or products. Initial response suggests the supplements will be a welcome addition. CONTENT Each supplement includes: • Contents Page • 4-page News Section • 6-page Sponsored Article • Advertorial content (2 to 4 pages each) • Directory with half, quarter and eighth page ads The building replaces the existing office for Alexander Forbes, which was spread over two buildings on the corner of Katherine Street and Rivonia Road. www.duluxtrade.co.za ART OF PAVING Thu 9 - Fri 10 July 2013 Midrand Centre, Johannesburg The building replaces the existing office for Alexander Forbes, which was spread over two buildings on the corner of Katherine Street. www.artofpaving.co.za CHEMICAL SURFACE Wed 23 - Sat 26 September ‘13 Cape Town Expo Centre The building replaces the existing office for Alexander Forbes, which was spread over two buildings which is great for designers on the corner of Katherine Street and Rivonia Road. www.chemicalindustry.co.za WALLS AND ALL Mon 14 - Fri 18 January 2014 Benoni Conference Centre DIRECTORY The Directory, at the back of the supplement, provides half, quarter and eighth page advertisements starting from only R3,200 per issue.

PAINT LAUNCHED FOR ALL SURFACES The new building replaces the existing head office for Alexander Forbes, which was spread over two buildings on the corner of Katherine Street and Rivonia Road. The client needed to consolidate facilities with a better use of space for 2,500 people; this involved modernising work operations and upgrading technology services. Considering its status as a renowned financial services company, these needed to be state of the art, with added security. The design warranted a flexible building, hence the large floor plates, punctuated by two atria to maximise the natural daylight into the office spaces. The north-west orientation of the site also influenced the design with the powerful scallop elements to capture north and south light and protect the occupants from east and west light. The atria also capture natural light which floods from the top down and from each side into the arrival area. It was designed to create a park-like environment with the introduction of 6m high Ficus Benjamina trees sunken into the floor.
