A brand new 18-story office building is currently being constructed on the corner of Alice Lane and Fifth Street in Sandton’s commercial centre.
On the ground floor the building will include showrooms, retail elements and concept stores reachable from the piazza – a relaxing area between the three buildings that completes the enclosure.
Paragon Architects had already designed two of the three buildings around the future piazza, which led them to their current plan.
Working with generated site line analyses and sun studies, the original design was specifically created to bring sunlight into the communal space.
The entire precinct intends on achieving a Four Star Green Star rating.
Paragon designed the shell of the building with the goal that the building is not only functional and eco-friendly, but also aesthetically pleasing.
