Located at the western edge of Sandton, the glass and aluminium towers of 15 Alice Lane rise as statuesque architectural statements on the rapidly expanding skyline. This 24,000 square metre double tower structure is the new office space of well-known legal firm Norton Rose. Set atop a six-storey basement the two towers rise 17 storeys into the Johannesburg sky. The project employs cutting edge glass technology that has not been used in South Africa before. North and south facades are wrapped in a patterned ‘skin’ of seemingly random planes of clear, dark grey and translucent glass.
