The Towers
Project Floor Area: 12912m2
Date Certified: 1st June 2017
Address: Johannesburg, Gauteng
The Towers sit on top of a 6 storey naturally ventilated basement with the actual towers rising seventeen storeys high into the sky including ground level. The structure utilises concrete, aluminium and glass in its construction.
North and south facades are wrapped in a patterned ‘skin’ of seemingly random planes of clear, dark grey and translucent glass. The east and west facades eliminate direct sunlight with sculptural hand-formed aluminium boxes set around deeply incised glass lines. These unique facades alter dynamically according to light and atmosphere changes due to their highly patterned and abstract surfaces.
