Cape Town’s newest innovative design building has opened. With its Six Star Green Star Design Award it has utilised some of the most advanced technology in the world. Born out of the V&A Waterfront’s desire to set new standards for the construction and utilisation of commercial office space, The Ridge, on the shoulder of land adjacent to the Breakwater, opposite the One and Only, had a far reaching vision that preceded the Covid pandemic and projected a worker space that was environmentally friendly to capture the better quality lifestyles of its new tenants. A healthy office environment that cares for the wellness of those who work within it is not only good for staff morale but essential to the well-being of a business. As a swing away from the hermetically sealed air conditioned box buildings, The Ridge has opted for natural air flow, allowing windows to open and breathe in the freshness of the sea air. The Cape’s climate allows the moderate outdoor temperature to be applied indoors for over 80% of the year.
