The building consists of two conjoined towers , one of which is the new Head Office of leading international firm , Ernst & Young ( EY ) and the other a multi-tenanted 13 storey tower . The client brief highlighted certain criteria in respect of the property requirements and design . The following conditions needed to be considered :

• Location and accessibility to major transport and the Gautrain .
• Visibility and exposure .
• Large floor plates with flexible and efficient space .
• Safe , healthy and pleasant environment .
• Low to medium rise ( Max . 8 storeys ) with adequate parking .
• Green star rating .
With regards to design , the brief required the design , quality of finishes and services to reflect EY ’ s culture of integration , professionalism and excellence . The building needed to reflect “ Quality in Everything We Do ” to its clients and people . The building was required to take cognisance of the following :
• The architecture needed to have a ‘ relevance to place ’. It needed to represent EY ‘ Africa ’ through use of form , local materials , textures and finishes .
• Integration and flexibility of space to allow for easy change and adaptability in the future .
The site is bounded by Rivonia Road to the north , Johann Street to the west and Katherine Road to the south
