Parking Levels As there is no basement in this building , all nine parking levels are located above ground . The parking is accessed off street level from Wierda Road West . One of the design challenges when working with the above ground parking brief was to seamlessly integrate the parking levels into the façade of the building . The parking levels are naturally ventilated . This is achieved by cladding the parking levels with 30mm x 40mm aluminium slats , powder coated in varying shades to create a variation in the design . This slatted design allowed for the necessary levels of natural ventilation required by the fire department .

Each visitor is provided with a card that only allows access to the floor required , creating a further level of security within the building . The lobby incorporates greening in the form of planted walls , planters and large , free standing trees in
