Design Concept & Strategy
The building is a contemporary corporate environ-
ment encompassing the social workplace lifestyle
required of an innovative tenant as well as those
of a commercially savvy developer. The footprint
is derived from these design drivers.
The offices and public areas are located on a
raised podium with two semi-basement parking
levels below. The fall across the site, from John
24
Vorster towards Lenchen Avenue, allows for on
grade staff access on the higher end of the site
and dramatic visitor access through a mutli-volume
lobby on the lower end of the site.
The design concept for the office building was
to create very efficient and rectilinear office floor
plates contained within two five storey buildings
linked together with a social highstreet at podium
level and a multi-volume public interface atrium.
