Sasol Place / Paragon Architects

The new Sasol corporate office on Katherine Street brings together all 6000 staff members from its eleven satellite offices into one office space. The building leaps the boundary of the commercial edge of Sandton to hover as a floating glass box above an indigenous parkland.

15 Alice Lane Annex / Paragon Architects

The context of this project had a profound impact on its design. This is the sixth building on the Alice Lane Precinct and sits in the southern corner. An early decision was made to rehabilitate the structure rather than demolish it. There were compelling reasons for doing so, including cost and time benefits.

Mazars' 54 Glenhove / Paragon Architects

The just completed office complex for Mazars in Johannesburg marks a paradigm shift from the idea of commercial architecture. While it seeks to convey the companies values and inbuilt traditions, it departs from a conventional office complex and borders into an abode. The toned down concrete, playful facades and expansive forms break apart the massing of the project and connect at the entrance ...

Alice Lane Phase 1 Marsh / Paragon Architects

The design of this building formed the last important piece of an urban puzzle. The volumes of the building needed to terminate views on the piazza design. It needed to allow a transparent view through the building’s punched views with gardens but also defining the edge without killing the piazza’s relationship with the sky or the views. The building was awarded Best Commercial Building at the ...

BDO_22 Wellington Road / Paragon Architects

The BDO building lives to an agenda of a street relationship, something not seen much in South African commercial work. The restaurant particularly embraces the street with an inviting roof garden, planter boxes and trees and invites people to enter. This is a new development from a site that was demolished to make way for a new 8000m2 multi-tenanted office complex occupying 5 storeys and 4 lev...

Corner Jellicoe Avenue and Oxford Road / Paragon Architects

The ‘Tiber Rosebank’ development occupies this key site in the fast changing Rosebank node in Johannesburg with confidence. It takes a definite stance as a hard-edged work of urban architecture on the edge of the Rosebank business node, yet deals respectfully with the scale and texture of the lush forest-like setting of Johannesburg’s northern suburbs.

AFGRI Headquarters Office Building/ Paragon Architects

The AFGRI headquarters building signals a new thought process, at least within the African architectural context. It provides for a brief departure from the gritty and tenacious look that dots the landscape to a more feline flowing from that almost seems to wrap itself upon the user. It is a statement of concrete and glass embedded in Tshwana history, one that Paragon architects have been makin...

30 Jellicoe Avenue/ Paragon Architects

Once again Paragon Architects presents us with an award winning debatably classically but highly environmental conscious building that respects the street and represents heavily architecture of our time. Paragon Architects was approached by Investec during 2011 to propose a design to accommodate amongst other tenants, the law firm Fluxmans. In keeping with the values of Investec and the tenant,...

105 Corlett Drive/Paragon Architects

At 105 Corlett Drive, Birnam in Johannesburg, it’s impossible not to notice the floating concrete and glass office building by Paragon Architects, it’s a site to behold. This two storey office building sits atop a three storey parking podium, separated by double volume metal clad cone forms.
