The 92 Rivonia building is situated on one of the finest sites in Sandton . It is located on the prominent corner of Rivonia and Pybus Roads , opposite the main entrance to Sandton City Shopping Centre and midway between the Gautrain Station and the US Embassy . This site was destined for an iconic structure to do it justice .
The site was previously home to a motor dealership within a rather modest arrangement of buildings . In a bold and visionary move , Smartgrowth Investments acquired these corner properties in a record setting deal facilitated by Watprop . DBM Architects were commissioned to design a mixed-use development utilising the bulk of 40,000m ² with sufficient parking for the high calibre tenants who would occupy it .
Client Brief What makes this project quite remarkable and unique is the fact that there were no specific end-users whose requirements could headline the brief . Instead , the approach was to develop a building that could accommodate any number of tenants , varying from traditional and corporate offices , to motor showrooms , a motor workshop , retail , conference facilities and restaurants , with as much flexibility as possible .
The triangular wedge shape of the site strongly suggested a building which terminates in a very sharp southern corner
