GROUND FLOOR
practical design when it comes to the window to wall ratio and the balance between glass and opaque surfaces . The façade responds very directly to orientation . For instance the north façade , where sun control is relatively easy , is entirely glazed with the addition of fritted glass fins that control the amount of sunlight coming into the building .
The East and West façades , which are harder to control in terms of light entering the building , consist of a high ratio of opaque to glass areas . Angled towards Table Mountain , the south façade , with the least sun exposure , is entirely glazed , bringing a high level of daylight into the building and playing a large role in supported the sustainability aspirations .
