curtain wall at the southern end commands its position on the corner of Slip , Crescent and High Streets . A discrete formal entry point provides a low key , stand alone executive address on the eastern side of High Street . The glass colonnade on the western façade provides weather protection to the shopper , whilst large street level window boxes on Slip Street hold promise for the shopper of high-end international brands .
11 Crescent Drive Serving three office floor plates of ± 880m 2 each , a knuckle joint foyer with an open staircase gives this building a distinctly simple identity at the junction between the existing and new precincts . A north facing courtyard at first level provides the open plan offices with a view away from the street .
20 Melrose Piazza Two distinctly different building façades share the only office foyer located on the Piazza . The curved “ Burnt Horizon ” red Marmoran faced curved building follows Slip Street with a curved curtain wall at street level and a curved linearly stacked sunscreen at the office levels on the one side , whilst the seashell encrusted white Toupret finished balcony , angles itself to follow the edge of the piazza in the other . The balconies of both façades provide grand stand views of the Piazza at all hours for the ± 1,060m 2 office floor plates whilst the interior façades open directly at first level onto the carefully landscaped shared office courtyard .
44 Melrose Boulevard Making a bold corner statement at the corner of Crescent Drive and Melrose Boulevard as a brick work façade , this imposing four levelled office plate of 1,570m 2 subtlely changes itself into to a horizontal façade of ribbon windows at the foyer junction . A glass canopy at street level introduces the visitor to either the building or the shopping entrance on Melrose Boulevard . This building shares west and north facing areas in the common first floor office landscaped courtyard .
54 Melrose Boulevard A C-shaped building wrapping itself around an almost private courtyard with the largest office floor plate of 1,850m 2 offers a staid glass fronted foyer as the first building from the main entrance off Corlett Drive . With superb north and east facing views this building is subtlely wrapped with a natural Namibian sandstone cladding to cover the retail back of house areas at street level but opens itself up at the upper office levels with balconies on three façades . Buff Satin face bricks complemented with panels of Toupret finished external plaster present a completely different feel to the group of buildings .
