The Pick ‘n Pay Head Office in Johannesburg is located in Kensington, close to the Johannesburg CBD
and major arterial roads and highways. The head office responsibilities are shared between Cape
Town and Johannesburg.
The development consists of 4 independent buildings, ranging in height of between two and three
stories. Included is a conference centre, taking up the southern end location. The buildings are built
above a large semi-basement, which forms a pedestrianised courtyard podium. The courtyard space
is a central feature between the buildings and is landscaped with water features, grassed areas and
walkways that link the buildings. The buildings are treated aesthetically with a light palette of
painted and feature cladding surfaces, and offset by darkened glazing to maintain a corporate
stylistic approach.
