We love facade mock-ups! The Ivory Coast Embassy in Pretoria will adorn a West African motif that appears woven like a fabric or basket. The repeating pattern is rationalised through diagonally tiled laser-cut stainless steel panels that create a seamless array of bands and diamonds. The successful mock-up was a culmination of multiple design development sessions with Facade Solutions and Pure Consulting. We can't wait to see the facade in it's entirety. #embassy #ivorycoast #côted’ivoire #glharchitects #eastwood

3 Parks Boulevard, an exciting new development in the heart of Rosebank! - The triangular site gave us the opportunity to express the two wings of the building as distinct elements but belonging to the same family. The western building will be the new home to RBH (Royal Bafokeng Holdings), while the eastern building will be the newest addition to @oxford_parks by Intaprop

90 Grayston Drive, Sandton - a throwback to one of our projects from 2018 - The ventilated double façade incorporates motorized blinds that automatically respond to the sun's path. This system regulates the solar heat gain of interior spaces, filtering light and reducing load on the building's air-conditioning. We coupled this with a frit on the outer glass layer which further shades the building. The result is a highly sophisticated and elegant facade imbued with technology, both active and passive. - Photography by Philip Schedler - #90grayston #glharchitects @redefine_properties_commercial Green Building Council South Africa (GBCSA) #gbcsaconvention2018 #greenbuildingconvention #4stargreenstar #architects #architecture #joburg #gauteng #southafrica #sandton #sandtonskyline

90 Grayston Drive, Sandton - a throwback to one of our projects from 2018 - A dynamic interplay between nature and design in the heart of Sandton. The kinetic façade shimmers at dusk, with each stainless steel panel pivoting independently in response to the movement of air. An invisible element becomes visible as the screen elegantly interacts with the wind. - Photography by Philip Schedler - #90grayston #glharchitects #redefineproperties Green Building Council South Africa (GBCSA) #gbcsaconvention2018 #greenbuildingconvention #4stargreenstar #architects #architecture #joburg #gauteng #southafrica #sandton #sandtonskyline

Ambassade de la Côte d’Ivoire The Ivory Coast Embassy is part of a comprehensive rehabilitation and construction initiative for the residences and embassy in Pretoria. This project aims to enhance the representation of the Ivory Coast in South Africa, aligning with the nation’s commitment to a dynamic, efficient, and innovative future. The proposal addresses the existing infrastructure in Pretoria, with tailored interventions specific to each property. These include the renovation of an existing residence, the construction of several diplomatic houses on two properties, and the construction of a striking new embassy that embodies the nation's cultural heritage and forward-looking vision. Photo 2&3: The Entrance/Porte Cochere of the new Embassy' Ground Floor slab and ramp have been cast and the ellipse is starting to take shape. Stay tuned for more exciting developments. #embassy #ivorycoast #côted’ivoire #glharchitects #eastwood @hd_constructionsa @agora_africa @cairnmead @sutherlandengineers #mvwengineers #studio9_08 #KVElecConsulting #oudemayer #pretoria #southafrica #architecturesouthafrica #architects #architecture #groundbreaking #diplomacy
