Discovery Place Probably the most talked about building this year, the new Discovery global head- quarters in Sandton has become the largest new build project to date to receive a 5 Star Green Star rating by the Green Building Council South Africa (GBCSA). Exclusive Books Ballito The brief to Dakota Design, the interior architects and retail designers for Exclusive Books at Ballito Junction in KwaZulu-Natal, was clear; design a space that will encourage like-minded patrons “to have conversations” in the store. Norval Foundation The Norval Foundation, a multi-sensory celebration of art, architecture and land- scape, provided a unique opportunity for the project team; a client brief with the aspiration to create a world class art and cultural centre in an exceptional location. Façade lighting Illuminated building façades not only add to the versatility of the architecture itself, but alter how we see and use a building. Façades are powerful state- ments which can be used to convey messages and create attention. Office lighting Office design, and in turn, office lighting, has changed dramatically over the years, with better workplace lighting being linked to a 15 percent reduction in absenteeism in office environments. Residential lighting In most homes the kitchen has the honour of being both the heart of the home and the most multifunctional room in the house. The right lighting is essential to both these appropriations. News A round up of the latest industry lighting news, including the inaugural Isa Light- ing Trends Show in August, a new ELDC showroom and a report back on Light + Building. LED drivers LED’s require specific devices, LED drivers, for proper operation, and while select- ing the correct driver for an LED solution is common practice for designers of LED luminaires, for re-sellers, finding the right driver for the job can be a challenge.
