The building was awarded a 6 Green Star Office Design rating by the Green Building Council of South Africa (GBCSA) and features a number of South African firsts for commercial building design.
Deloitte's Cape Town office block is one of the greenest buildings in Africa - its designers have dubbed it a “living breathing building-organism”.
What was previously a parking lot is now the home of accounting and consulting firm Deloitte and features several 'firsts' for the green building and sustainability industry in South Africa.
The building follows what its designers call biophilic architecture design - that connects building occupants more closely to nature through design. Its designers have built it to encourage occupants to open the windows and let the natural air and light flow through, instead of locking the air in behind glass and concrete.
Among the innovations used in the building are eco bricks made from discarded plastic, which were sourced directly from trash in Cape Town; a specially designed centralised core which was built to regulate the temperature like the ventilation of an anthill; as well as making use of South African timber inside and outside the building to keep it cool.
This is one of the most unique green buildings in Africa, if not the world.
