MARVEL EDGE

This mixed use commercial building was the first project for Marvel Realtors. Edge, a premium commercial development has been developed on an old factory site catering to different clientele to those in the call centre environment on the outskirts of the city. The program for Edge includes small and large office spaces, mobile workspaces including formal and informal areas, retail outlets, restaurants, business centre, gymnasium, spa, a boutique hotel and garden terraces.

Two naturally ventilated galleries bifurcate the building, providing secure entry for the tenants and connecting with the building's eight cores, each serving half of one wing and so helping to create a more intimate scale. The design intention was to create a boutique feel and to build in flexibility. The top floor is half occupied, the other half being an eco-deck given over to terraces, extensive greening and pools. The building has a three-layered facade consisting of a double-glazed curtain wall, private terraces and sunscreening.

As a hybrid building, Edge contributes to a richer urban context, especially in the way it engages on the ground plane with the public domain. The terraces humanise the building, while also forming part of a strategy to provide a more flexible workplace, one which goes beyond the traditional enclosed office.
