SAXON SQUARE , ROSEBANK , JOHANNESBURG
Stylish eco-friendly living in Joburg ’ s most vibrant destination is now within reach in Rosebank ’ s new Saxon Square on Oxford Road , just 580m from the Rosebank Gautrain . The stand-out 143-unit development has now reached all pre-sales targets and will break ground in May 2022 .
Saxon Square is arranged as a perimeter block around a central courtyard . The design aims at providing a maximum percentage of units with north-facing windows , but units orientated otherwise are fitted with screens for shading . Articulation of the façade aims to break up the structure ’ s mass and provide visual detail . Masterfully designed studio , one and two-bed apartments all feature high-end finishes and floor-to-ceiling glass windows to maximise the views . A penthouse with an impressive view completes the picture .
In addition to the sophisticated yet straightforward unit designs , public amenities provided for the social needs of residents include an outdoor exercise area , alternative transport parking , courtyards for outdoor dining , a large roof garden with spaces for both social and private outdoor activities as well as shared working spaces . Social areas are provided on the ground first and the fifth floor , integrating public spaces with private spaces for city living without imposing privacy . Saxon Square ’ s impressive amenities include a 24-hour concierge , biometric access control , a resident ’ s café , a pool , a rooftop
garden and a garden courtyard , a yoga lawn , an outdoor cinema and a co-working lounge .
Articulation of the boundary edge aims to be integrated with the public space and walkways around the site . This is achieved through soft and hard landscaping and placement of activated accommodations along essential edges . The size of the building is brought down to a human scale at these areas with short overhangs .
