Sasol是一家大型跨国石油化工公司，在南非和国外拥有各种各样的业务和活动。这座建筑将取代他们目前在约翰内斯堡周围的14座建筑，并统一萨索尔的企业文化。Sasol在过去20年里发展迅速，从来没有在约翰内斯堡的所有业务部门占用过一栋大楼。因此，这不仅仅是一个结构。该建筑需要反映公司的习惯，响应现场，并对建筑软件和可持续设计的发展作出反应。室内建筑需要容纳3000多名以前分散在一栋建筑中的工作人员，以整合公司价值和工作场所设计。

Sasol is a very large multinational Petrochemical Company with a wide variety of business units and activities in South Africa and abroad. This building was to replace their current occupation of 14 buildings around Johannesburg, and unify the Sasol corporate culture. Sasol had grown rapidly over the last two decades and had never occupied a single building with all of its Johannesburg based business units. As a result this was much more than just a structure. The building needed to reflect the mores of the company, respond to the site, and react to developments in architectural software and sustainable design. The Interior Architecture needed to accommodate over 3000 previously dispersed staff in a single building allowing for a consolidation of company values and work place design.

他们的标志封装了他们的价值观，为建筑的概念设计提供了出发点。结合帕拉根对建筑设计技术的追求和材料开发的发展，该建筑结合了可持续设计的途径。

Their logo which encapsulates their values, provided the departure point for the conceptual design of the building. Combined with Paragon’s pursuit of architectural design technology and developments in material development the building combined an approach to Sustainable Design.

事实证明，这种方法在向租户介绍时非常成功，但最终赢得了委托的是体系结构。流通和服务的中心核心是将建筑物连接在一起，各个地区通过一系列桥梁连接起来。一个主要的挑战是位于凯瑟琳街弯曲边缘的场地，并确保一座1300m2的大型建筑(可出租面积68000平方米)能够在垂直和水平两方面都能容纳和良好连接。这座大楼可容纳7500人。

This approach proved to be very successful in presentations to the tenant, but it was ultimately the architecture that won the commission. A central core of circulation and services ties the building together and the various areas are linked by a series of bridges. A major challenge was the site which is on a curving edge of Katherine Street, and to ensure a large building of 130000m2 (lettable area: 68000m2) could be accommodated and well connected both vertically and horizontally. The building can accommodate up to 7500 people.

该建筑的建模，以适当地响应广泛使用的玻璃围护结构和自然光的影响内部。为了鼓励鸟类生活和蝴蝶，在地台上广泛种植了本地植物，工作人员的福利是一个主要考虑因素，包括设施和公共交通，这些在南非通常不太发达。该建筑有一个5星绿星设计V1评级，将被确认为2018年建成。

The building was modeled to respond appropriately to the widely used glazed envelope and the impact of natural light internally. The ground podium was widely planted with indigenous plants to encourage birdlife and butterflies and the well-being of staff was a major consideration, including facilities and access to public transport which is generally not well developed in South Africa. The building has a 5 Star Green Star Design V1 rating, which will be confirmed As Built in 2018.
