这是由Dean Jay Architects设计的Lion Match办公园区。这是一个重建项目，将近21000平方米的商业与工业空间转换成办公园区环境，并额外增加近4000平方米的新建空间。建筑师的设计手法之一是视觉上的和谐，通过小心移除已建环境肌理的某些元素，以及升级、适应性再利用，延伸了其商业潜力以及现状基础设施的生命力。视觉上的差异与清晰的附加物通过使用统一的白色面板加以协调，回应了现状的屋顶元素，很好地协调了新与旧的关系。

From the architect. The Lion Match Office Park is a redevelopment project, the conversion of commercial and industrial space of approximately 21000 m2 into an office park environment with the addition of approximately 4000m2 of new built space. routes and the city’s ‘Golden Mile’. Commissioned by JT Ross Property Group, the developing client, it well positioned between Durban’s Stadiums, transport included

Partial conversion of the premises occurred between 1979-1980, but for the most part the original white envelope and other site elements remained in tact; subsequently placing the original building under the protection of KwaZulu-Natal’s provincial heritage agency AMAFA, necessitating that the project have a historical and sustainable underpinning.

Dean Jay Architects’ approach to the redevelopment was one of visual harmony; by sensitively removing certain elements of the built fabric, the commercial viability and life of the existing infrastructure could be extended through upgrades and adaptable reuse. Visually distinct and legible additions are reconciled to the existing through the use of a uniform white palette, by echoing the established roof profiles and through sensitive articulation between old and new.

The office park is subdivided into 10 different zones, to the most part consisting of offices, with a notable intervention being the conversion of the original Incinerator room into a bistro style restaurant facility that serves both park occupants and the public.The primary new built intervention houses the head office of JT Ross, who had the express desire to maximize sea views to the East and establish visual ties to the rugby fields below. The notable 20m2 post-tension concrete cantilever is not purely demolish original structures.

aesthetical, but acts to reconcile spatial requirements with the inability to The greatest challenge can be accounted to the massive parking requirements generated by the amount of office space. Through the introduction of green pockets and envelopes, a park continuity was established to soften these hard edges and delineate pedestrian and vehicular circulation from each other.Facebrick and concrete compliment the predominant white palette. COROBRICK Terracotta Satin facebrick is used in a ‘relief’ and ‘flush’ English bond pattern, as well as ‘edge’ bond pattern.
