Architecturally distinctive, the original BMW South Africa Head Office has been rejuvenated to not only reflect BMW’s Neue Arbeitzwelten, ‘a new working environment’, but to also live up to the contemporary standards of energy efficiency and sustainability – all without losing the original spirit of design embodied in the building.

Podium at Menlyn aspired to incorporate a triangular geometry into the use of low-maintenance materials. The use of the triangular geometry in the design of the curtain wall was one that was simplistic, however remained only 2 dimensional. The Design Team was looking for a material that would be able to incorporate a third dimension to the triangular forms of the façade. What better material to select other than raw concrete in order to achieve this. The raw concrete is juxtaposed with the smooth curtain wall which creates a harmonious balance in the design, leaving passers-by with a sense of curiosity and wanting to know how this building’s concrete forms were actually created.
