The Green Room @ The District

Cape Town

The District is a 7 storey office building on the edge of the Central Business District of Cape Town. The building was given an internal upgrade and a new central courtyard, appropriately named The Green Room. The Green Room serves as an amenity for the tenants as well as an introduction to the Green theme that carries through the building. The concept was designed to add value to the lifeless barren courtyard by creating an environment where people can come together and interact while escaping the concrete jungle. A covered seating area was created next to an open garden, with timber clad I-Beams representing trees, an asymmetrical timber beam structure, and a glass roof with leaf patterns casting organic shadows onto the deck below.
