4SA Successful Submission in the AfriSam SAIA Award for Sustainable Architecture 2014
The Lakeside Meerlus building on the north bank of Centurion Lake in Pretoria obtained a fourstar Green Star office v1 design rating from the Green Building Council of South Africa (GBCSA).
The first of three buildings to be developed in the Lakeside Office Park, the renovated building encloses its core space through a new glazed atrium from which there are attractive views over Centurion Lake.
The open plan arrangement of office spaces are positioned around the atrium and vertical service shafts which create a kinetic linkage of each of the floor plates.
The existing face brick facades of the building was given a face lift by adding a light-weight walling structure to form the new envelope of the building. This is coupled with the redesign of the windows to enhance the amount of natural light entering into the building.
The re-cladding of the building has enhanced the thermal efficiencies of the office spaces.
The building embodies environmental preservation through the re-use of an existing building structure and incorporates sustainable features such as energy-efficient air conditioning and lighting, heat pumps, water saving fixtures, a recycling waste storage facility, low volatile organic compound (VOC) paints and adhesives, and cyclist facilities.
Products that enhance efficiency, including glazing with thermal properties and composite aluminum panels, have been used in the construction of the new facades.
The Lakeside 3 development contributes toward a revolution that is part of a paradigm shift towards sustainability, a growing realisation that current ways of living are not maintainable in the long term.
