Alice Lane South is located off Sandton Drive , adjacent to Sandton City Shopping Centre . This four storey office park , with 3 basement levels , designed by Paragon Architects for Zenprop Property Holdings and Growthpoint Properties , is a simple rectangular shape with a particularly interesting façade and external creativity to make this yet another iconic landmark in the heart of Sandton .
Architecture and Design The context of this project had a profound impact on its design . This is the sixth building on the Alice Lane Precinct and sits in the southern corner .
An early decision was made to rehabilitate the existing structure , originally consisting of 5 storeys , including two basements , rather than demolish it . There were compelling reasons for doing so , including cost and time benefits . However , it did complicate structural issues somewhat , both vertically and horizontally .
Adjusted Plan The original plan was stepped and this subsequently required the accommodation of three different grid systems across the building , into the interstitial spaces around it and the adjoining buildings . Three of the existing five levels were retained and converted to parking . This has subsequently joined the existing super-basement below the precinct , which will provide a total of 3,500 parking bays .
An additional parking level and transfer structure was added as well as five storeys of office plates , each with a floor area of approximately 4,200m 2 . The length and
