Seamlessly integrating the vibrant pulse of urban living with the tranquil landscape of the Irene Village area , Irene Link is a truly connected precinct . This premium lifestyle development offers the convenience of residential , retail , educational and commercial space in one flowing precinct , as well as easy access to the N1 highway just 500m away .
Developed by Abland , Som Group and Giflo Developments , the mixed-used precinct ’ s commercial Building B offers 6,752m 2 of P-Grade office space that gives tenants the opportunity to step back and enjoy tranquillity . With design that promotes efficient and effective business , along with proximity to green spaces and educational , medical , restaurant and residential offerings , Irene Link brings a sense of harmony in the hustle .
Design Project architects , Nsika Architecture and Design , wanted Building B to have its own strong identity and visual impact adjacent to the Barloworld building , which was completed in 2019 .
In keeping with the envisioned architectural language of the precinct , the design employs high performance glazing , off shutter concrete , Versus rendering and steel and aluminium screening – all contemporary materials that knit the building into its context whilst maintaining a unique architectural identity . The building concept was to create a permeable glass envelope that would sit lightly on a naturally ventilated basement . This design decision allowed for seamless views between the high-energy of the highway and the southern pedestrian of the adjoining Impala Precinct .
