Developed in a joint venture between Rabie Property Group and Growthpoint Properties, Bridge Park is a commercial development in the Bridgeways Precinct in Century City, Cape Town. We were commissioned to design a functional office space, not just in terms of environmental factors but the overall user experience of the building.
‍

The two buildings, Bridge Park West and Bridge Park East, occupy a central position within the mixed-use precinct, taking advantage of its panoramic views and access to transport routes. Each four-storey building is positioned on a podium, with a recessed façade at ground level, providing shade to the fully glazed ground floor.
‍

A full height glazed setback in the façade articulates the main entrance. The façade of the office floors is of aluminium panelling. This is punctuated with vertical glazing, providing ample daylight to the workspaces and views throughout the building. Each building encloses a landscaped courtyard, bringing nature into the fabric of the building and providing outdoor breakaway places for staff. In 2015, the Green Building Council of South Africa awarded a 5-Star Green Star Office rating v1 Design rating recognising Bridge Park’s sustainable design principles.
